Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Flour for dredging
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 ounces mushrooms (try cremini or white mushrooms) 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
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and Italian seasoning, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and golden, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the creamy mushroom sauce. Simmer for 5 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
