Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise or pounded thin
2 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion sliced
8 ounces mushrooms sliced
½ cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
In a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until barely no longer pink, flipping halfway through. Then, remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a plate. Be careful not to overcook.
Add the butter and sliced onion to the same skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the onion begins to caramelize and brown.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 4 minutes until soft.
Add the chicken broth, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for about 2-3 minutes to allow the broth to reduce slightly.
Slowly add in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and parmesan cheese. Stir until combined.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, making sure it is covered with the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Avoid overheating the chicken to prevent toughness.
Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with additional sauce and chopped parsley if desired.
