Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup white wine (optional, or use chicken broth)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button mushrooms work well)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 5 minutes, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown.
- Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth), scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any flavorful bits. Let the wine cook off for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to reheat the chicken and allow the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- You can substitute the white wine with extra chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version.
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of lemon juice or fresh thyme to the sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can let it simmer a little longer to reduce.
