Step 1
Pat chicken dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken 5 minutes per side until golden. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
Add mushrooms to the same skillet and cook, stirring, until they release liquid and edges brown, about 4 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in white wine and scrape up browned bits from the pan. Stir in broth and mustard, then return chicken.
Step 5
Simmer uncovered for 4 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Stir in cream and fresh herbs.
Step 6
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve immediately over egg noodles or crusty bread.
