Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chicken dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Add mushrooms to the same skillet and cook, stirring, until they release liquid and edges brown, about 4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in white wine and scrape up browned bits from the pan. Stir in broth and mustard, then return chicken.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer uncovered for 4 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Stir in cream and fresh herbs.

  6. Step 6

    Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve immediately over egg noodles or crusty bread.
