Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded thin
- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound white or cremini mushrooms sliced
- 4 shallots diced
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1/4 cup minced fresh tarragon chopped
Instructions
- 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.
