Ingredients:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 4 small)

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp garlic powder

¼ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)

4 tbsp olive oil

8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)

½ cup chicken broth

½ cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)

1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for extra depth)

1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken:

Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally if they are thick.

Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Dredge lightly in flour, shaking off excess.

Cook the Chicken:

Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms:

Add remaining olive oil to the skillet.

Cook mushrooms over medium heat for 5 minutes until browned.

Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Make the Sauce:

Pour in white wine, scraping up browned bits from the skillet.

Let it simmer for 2 minutes until slightly reduced.

Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard (if using), and thyme.

Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Combine & Serve:

Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over it.

Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F internal temp).

Stir in Parmesan cheese if using.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Pair with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables.
