Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 1.5–2 lb, patted dry
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms sliced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high and brown 3–4 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, add butter, then sauté onion and mushrooms until browned, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and thyme for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth to deglaze, scraping browned bits.
  4. Whisk in cream and Dijon, simmer until slightly thickened. Return chicken to skillet and cook 5–7 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning, garnish with parsley, then serve over rice or mashed potatoes.
