Step 1
Place chicken between plastic wrap and pound to 0.5-inch thickness with a meat mallet.
Step 2
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge both sides in flour, tapping off excess.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 4
Sear chicken 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until golden, about 4 minutes. Add wine and mustard.
Step 6
Stir in cream, return chicken to the pan, and simmer until sauce coats the back of a spoon, 2 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
