Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken breasts (pounded thin)
4 tablespoons dijon mustard
salt and pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 pound mushrooms (sliced)
4 shallots (diced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
1/4 cup fresh tarragon (chopped)

Steps:

  • Brush both sides of chicken breasts with dijon mustard. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees, flipping half way through. This should take about 6 to 8 minutes if using thin chicken breasts.
  • Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Using the same skillet, pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add in mushrooms and shallots. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Add in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  • Pour in heavy cream and tarragon. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the sauce and let them heat through. Serve hot over cooked pasta.
