Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the skillet, and let it melt.
Add mushrooms and onions. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and golden.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits.
Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, thyme, and rosemary. Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
Return chicken to the skillet. Spoon sauce over chicken and simmer for another 5–7 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Boneless chicken thighs can be used for extra juiciness.

Substitute half the chicken broth with white wine for a deeper flavor.

Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for color and nutrition.

For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream and omit the Parmesan.

Serve with mashed cauliflower, rice, pasta, or zucchini noodles.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth or cream.

Freezing is not recommended due to sauce separation.
