Dijon Chicken Smothered In Mushrooms Recipe

How to Make Dijon Chicken Smothered in Mushrooms

• STEP 1.Start by seasoning your chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and sear it for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

• STEP 1.In the same skillet, add the mushrooms. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and brown. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. The mushrooms will release some moisture, which will build the base of your creamy sauce.

• STEP 2.Now it’s time to make that rich, creamy sauce. Add the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine everything and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.

• STEP 3.Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce and mushrooms over the top. Let everything simmer together for about 2-3 minutes to ensure the chicken absorbs some of the flavors. If you like your sauce extra creamy, add a tablespoon of butter right at the end to make it rich and velvety.
