# Needed Ingredients:

→ Main

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - Salt, to taste
04 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Sauce

05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - 1 small onion, finely chopped
07 - 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button)
08 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
09 - 1/2 cup white wine, or chicken broth
10 - 1 cup heavy cream
11 - 1/2 cup chicken broth
12 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
13 - 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

→ Finish & Garnish

14 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Sear chicken breasts in hot oil for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened.
03 - Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
04 - Pour in white wine or chicken broth, scraping any brown bits from the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until reduced.
05 - Stir in heavy cream, remaining chicken broth, and Dijon mustard. Mix well and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
06 - Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to become smooth and creamy.
07 - Return seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning sauce over the chicken. Simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes until heated through and the flavors meld.
08 - Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your choice of accompaniments.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For richer flavor, use white wine to deglaze the pan, or substitute with chicken broth for an alcohol-free version. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
