Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 2 large chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise to create four cutlets)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Flour, for dredging

For the Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 12 ounces mushrooms (cremini or white), sliced
• ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup chicken broth
• ½ teaspoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets. Season with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté the Mushrooms:
   • Melt butter in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and Italian seasoning. Cook until the mushrooms release their water and develop a golden sear. Remove and set aside.
4. Prepare the Sauce:
   • Add garlic, chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir to dissolve the mustard and let the mixture reduce by half (about 3–4 minutes).
5. Combine and Finish:
   • Stir in the heavy cream, then return the chicken and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Serve:
   • Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
