Ingredients
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 oz mushrooms white button or cremini, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or dry white wine
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh chives or parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Slice the thick chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner cutlets for faster, more even cooking.
- Dredge the chicken cutlets lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the chicken until it develops a golden crust and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sear until perfectly browned and caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to let it burn.
- Deglaze the pan by pouring in the chicken broth or white wine, making sure to scrape up the fond (browned bits) from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken cutlets to the pan, spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh chives or parsley before serving.
