Creamy Chicken with Mushrooms and Dijon Sauce


  • Author: Chef Lalybeth

Description

Tender chicken breasts smothered in a rich, creamy sauce with sautéed mushrooms and a tangy hint of Dijon mustard.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
  4. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for 2-3 more minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
