Equipment
Ingredients
Chicken
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise into cutlets
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Creamy sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¾ cup yellow onion diced
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms thick sliced
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worchestersire sauce
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Season the chicken cutlets with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and thyme.
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add chicken and cook for about 3 minutes per side without flipping. Once browned, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep it warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add butter, and melt. Then add the onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic to the pan and continue cooking until they have softened, about 4 minutes.
- Add rosemary, chicken broth, flour, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl. Whisk until there are no lumps, and pour into mushrooms and onions.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Whisk in heavy cream until well combined.
- Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until chicken is warmed through.
Notes
- Uniform pieces of chicken: Make sure to slice the chicken into similar-sized cutlets so they cook up at the same pace. You want to be able to remove them all at the same time so you can continue with the rest of the recipe.
- Storage: Leftover chicken and mushrooms will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can freeze leftovers for up to 1 month, but your cream sauce may have a different texture once frozen and thawed.
- Reheat on the stove: Reheat leftovers in a skillet on the stove so that everything cooks evenly and thoroughly.
