Chicken breasts with mushroom and onion Dijon sauce is a savory dish that pairs tender chicken with a creamy, flavorful sauce. The combination of mushrooms, onions, rosemary, mustard, and white wine creates a deliciously rich flavor profile. It's an elegant yet easy-to-make meal that's perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a shallow dish, combine the whole-grain wheat flour, salt, and black pepper.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, coating them evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Ensure the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should read 165°F or 74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Tent with foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped rosemary and both the Dijon and whole-grain mustards to the mushroom and onion mixture.
- Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken broth and heavy whipping cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the salted butter to the skillet, stirring until melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat.
- Allow the chicken to heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and sauce.
- Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Tips:
- Coat the chicken breasts evenly with flour to ensure a nice, golden crust when seared.
- Cook the mushrooms and onions until they are nicely caramelized for added depth of flavor.
- Use a good quality white wine for the sauce, as it will significantly enhance the overall flavor.
- Be cautious when adding the whipping cream to avoid curdling; it should be added at a lower heat.
- Let the sauce simmer to thicken it to your liking before adding the chicken back in for the final heat-through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley right before serving to add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
