Chicken Breasts With A Herb, Mustard, Mushroom, Cream Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 boneless chicken breasts, skin on. You will likely need to buy bone-in breasts and debone them. Or you can use boneless, skinless, if you have to.
- 1 cup chopped shallots
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 cup low-salt chicken stock
- 1/4 cup cream
- 2 tbsp fresh or 1 tbsp dried herbs (e.g. sage, rosemary, thyme, tarragon)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Melt butter and oil in heavy frying pan over medium high heat.
- Season chicken both sides.
- Pan-fry, skin side up, for 5 minutes. Then pan-fry skin side down until skin is brown and almost crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate.
- Add shallots and mushrooms to pan, reduce heat to medium-low. Season and sautA for about 10 minutes; shallots will soften and mushrooms will release water.
- Add wine; simmer until all liquid is nearly evaporated, scraping up browned bits.
- Add stock and herbs, stir.
- Return chicken to pan, skin side up, so it stays crispy. Simmer until chicken is cooked, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to serving plate.
- Stir cream and mustard into the pan. Increase heat to high, cook until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Check seasoning.
- Serve with buttery mashed potatoes, a dark green vegetable, and the sauce over the chicken.
