1-Getting started: Getting started with this creamy mushroom chicken recipe is all about simple steps that anyone can follow. First, cut the 2 large chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make four thinner cutlets. Season them with salt and pepper to taste, then coat in flour for dredging to get that nice golden crust.

2-Next, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until it’s golden brown. Once done, set the chicken aside to rest. In the same pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter and sauté the 12 ounces of sliced mushrooms with 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning until the water releases and cooks off, then sear them and remove to set aside.

3-Building the Sauce: Now, add the 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard to the pan. Stir everything together and let it reduce by half, which takes about 3-4 minutes. This step builds a flavorful base for your creamy mushroom chicken recipe.

4-Finally, stir in the 1 cup heavy or whipping cream, along with the mushrooms and chicken. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce thickens. Season with more salt and pepper as needed, and you’re ready to serve a warm, comforting meal.

5-Keep an eye on the chicken to make sure it reaches 165°F inside, as that’s the safe temperature for cooking. For a smooth transition, this method ensures your creamy mushroom chicken comes out juicy every time.
