Step 1
Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. Place your hand flat on top of each and pound gently with a meat mallet until about 3/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Pat chicken dry. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Sear chicken 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add mushrooms and shallot. Sauté 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.
Step 5
Pour in red wine and beef broth. Scrape the skillet bottom with a spoon to loosen any browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes until liquid reduces slightly.
Step 6
Stir in mustard. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over it. Serve immediately with crusty bread or egg noodles.
