Method
- Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets. Pat completely dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and olive oil. Once butter melts and foams, add sliced mushrooms in a single layer. Let cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop golden color. Stir once, then cook another 2 minutes until nicely browned. Remove to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add chicken cutlets. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to plate with mushrooms and let rest 2-3 minutes.
- Add more butter to skillet if needed. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in lemon juice and scrape up browned bits from bottom of pan.
- Add chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and return mushrooms to skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, then slowly add cornstarch slurry while stirring. Let sauce bubble and thicken for 1-2 minutes until it coats the back of a spoon.
- Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over top. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
Notes
For dairy-free: Substitute coconut cream for heavy cream. For extra umami: Add a dash of soy sauce to the sauce. The sauce can be thinned with additional broth if too thick. Let chicken cool 20-30 minutes before storing. Leftovers store well for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
