Creamy Mushroom Chicken features tender, pan-fried chicken breasts smothered in a rich garlic and mushroom cream sauce. This comforting and flavorful dish is quick to prepare and perfect for weeknight dinners or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts

Salt & pepper to taste

Flour for dredging

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

12 ounces mushrooms (cremini or white), sliced

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 cup heavy/whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four thinner cutlets. Season with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and Italian seasoning. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and their moisture has evaporated. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté briefly until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer and reduce slightly.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, then return the mushrooms and chicken to the skillet.
  7. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

  • Use a mix of mushrooms for added depth of flavor.
  • Substitute chicken thighs for a juicier result.
  • Add herbs like thyme or parsley for freshness.
  • Include vegetables like spinach or peas during the final simmer.
  • Not recommended for freezing as the sauce may separate.
