Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 8 ounces White mushrooms (sliced)
• 1.5 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and dill. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes to warm through. Add the lemon juice and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or with a side of crusty bread.
