Cooking Instructions

  • Cut your chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make four thinner cutlets. Season them with salt & pepper then coat them in flour.
  • Add the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once the pan's hot, add the chicken. Cook it for 4-5 minutes/side until golden. Once this step is done, take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
  • Add the butter to the pan. Let it melt, then add the mushrooms and Italian seasoning. Cook the mushrooms until the water has been released and they get a nice sear.
  • Take the mushrooms out of the pan.
  • Add the garlic, chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the pan. Stir until the mustard dissolves, and let it reduce by half (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Add the cream to the pan, along with the chicken and mushrooms. Let the chicken cook for another 5 minutes or so until cooked through and the sauce has thickened a bit. Season with salt & pepper as needed.
