Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (button or cremini work great!)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (because life deserves a little indulgence!)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley (optional, but let’s make it pretty!)

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and then add them to the pan. Sear each side for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and mushrooms. Cook until softened, which should take about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Toss in the minced garlic and stir for another minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Scrape up any delicious bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream. Bring the mix back to a low simmer and let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
  5. Place the chicken back in the pan, coat it with the sauce, and let everything simmer together for another 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve with rice or pasta.

Notes

Don’t worry about a lumpy sauce; it’s all part of the magic! Feel free to add other vegetables for a health boost, or add a dash of white wine for extra flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
