Skillet Chicken Recipes
Creamy Mushroom Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
- All-purpose flour, for dredging
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 dash 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
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make four thinner cutlets. Coat them in flour.
- Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, add the chicken. Cook it for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- Add the remaining butter to the pan. Let it melt, then add the mushrooms and Italian seasoning.
- Once the mushrooms start to release water, add the garlic to the pan. Continue cooking the mushrooms until all the water is cooked off.
- Remove the mushrooms out of the pan and put them with the chicken.
- Add the chicken broth, lemon juice and Dijon mustard to the pan. Stir until the mustard dissolves, and let it reduce for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the cream to the pan, along with the chicken and mushrooms. Let the chicken cook for another 5 minutes or so until it is cooked through and the sauce has thickened a bit.
- Season with salt and pepper.
