This Dijon Mushroom Cream Chicken is a quick, elegant one-pan dinner featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich Dijon mustard cream sauce with mushrooms and garlic. Ready in just 30 minutes, it’s perfect for weeknights or special occasions and pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté garlic and mushrooms until softened, about 4–5 minutes.
  3. Stir in Dijon mustard and heavy cream. Cook 2–3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet. Simmer in the sauce for 3–4 minutes to warm through.
  5. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.

Notes

  • Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for depth.
  • Use half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • Add spinach or peas for extra veggies.
  • Top with Parmesan cheese for added richness.
  • Coconut cream can be used for a dairy-free alternative.
