Chicken & Mushrooms With Creamy Dijon Sauce

Recipe #263405 | 22 min | 2 min prep | add private note

This is a very easy and tasty chicken dish, thanks to the wonderful creamy mustard sauce. To make the dish richer,use margarine or butter instead of the cooking spray. You can also use whipping cream instead of the fat-free half and half. You can use any type of mushroom, depending on your preference. I like baby bellas.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Spray skillet with cooking spray. Heat to medium heat.
  2. 2
    Sprinkle chicken with thyme, rosemary (optional), salt, and pepper.
  3. 3
    Place chicken in the preheated skillet and cook 4 minutes on each side, or until chicken is lightly browned.
  4. 4
    Add the chicken stock and sherry. Bring to a boil.
  5. 5
    Cover and reduce heat; simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. 6
    Add mushrooms and cook uncovered until the mushrooms are tender.
  7. 7
    Remove the chicken and mushrooms from the pan; keep warm.
  8. 8
    Add the half and half and mustard to the skillet. Whisk together to blend. Cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. If desired, thicken sauce with cornstarch -- be careful -- it is easy to get it too thick.
  9. 9
    Return the mushrooms to the skillet, and serve the sauce and mushrooms over the chicken.

We enjoyed this for dinner with mashed potatoes. I used skin on bone in drumsticks and thighs, and increased the amounts of other ingredients. However, I used only 1 tbl of dijon. The sauce tasted too strongly of mustard for us, although it tasted good over the chicken and potatoes. I would reduce the amount next time. Also, to thicken, I stirred in a large spoonful of ricotta cheese - it blended in beautifully with the other ingredients. I used dried mushrooms, the soaking liquid, and some canned mushrooms, as I had no fresh. All in all, a very nice recipe.

    This is so yummy. I love the taste. I used the thyme and rosemary. I used a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Instead of cooking sherry, I used unsweetened apple juice. It worked perfectly. I reduced the Dijon mustard to 1 tablespoon. And I didn't thicken with cornstarch. Thanks Breezermom. Made for Zaar Star Game

    The sauce has a good flavor, as do the chicken breasts themselves. I would have liked twice as many mushrooms, though. I also think I would use a different cut than whole breasts because they came out dry. It was hard to judge when they were done.
