Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 boneless chicken breast halves
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 lb cremini mushroom, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 large shallot, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken stock or 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in the vegetable oil. Add the chicken breasts, skin side down, and cook over moderately high heat until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.

  • Pour off the fat from the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • Add the mushrooms and shallot and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the wine and simmer over moderately high heat until almost dry, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the cream and stock and simmer until thickened, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the mustard (optional) and dill and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the chicken to the sauce, skin side up, along with any accumulated juices.
  • Simmer over low heat until the chicken is warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  • Spoon the sauce onto plates, top with the chicken and serve w/ pasta.
