- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms
- 1 large shallot
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
How to make Skillet Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
- Pat the 1.5 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels; this ensures a good sear. Season both sides evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and a crust has formed. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms to the same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and have released their liquid, turning a deep golden brown.
- Add the 1 large minced shallot and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet with the mushrooms. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in 0.5 cup chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze and loosen any browned bits, which add flavor to the sauce. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in 0.75 cup heavy cream and 1 tsp Dijon mustard. Bring the sauce to a low simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens.
- Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy mushroom sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the chicken and sauce generously with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately with your favorite side dish.
