Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 20 mins | Total Time: 30 mins

Servings: 4 | Cuisine: American | Course: Dinner | Method: Skillet

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 cream

Instructions

1. Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make four thinner cutlets. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge them in flour.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add mushrooms and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their water and develop a nice sear. Remove mushrooms and set aside with the chicken.
4. Add garlic, chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir to dissolve the mustard and let the mixture simmer until reduced by half, about 3–4 minutes.
5. Pour in the heavy cream, then return the chicken and mushrooms to the skillet. Simmer for 5 more minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
