Elegant & Easy: Mushroom Chicken with Creamy Dijon-Wine Sauce
Tender chicken breasts are pan-seared and bathed in a savory mushroom, white wine, and Dijon cream sauce that feels fancy but is incredibly simple to make. It’s the perfect dinner party entrée or weeknight indulgence.
🍄 Ingredients:
- 🍗 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 🧂 Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 🌿 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
- 🍄 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 🍷 ½ cup dry white wine
- 🥄 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 🥛 ½ cup heavy cream
- 🌿 Chopped parsley, for garnish
🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Season and Sear the Chicken:
🍗 Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and sear the chicken for about 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
2️⃣ Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic:
🍄 In the same pan, melt butter and add the mushrooms. Sauté until golden brown and tender, then add the garlic and cook for another minute.
3️⃣ Deglaze and Build the Sauce:
🍷 Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced. Stir in Dijon mustard and cream, and cook for another 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
4️⃣ Combine and Finish:
🍗 Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for a minute or two to meld the flavors. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
