Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- Optional toppings: crispy bacon, sliced green onions
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Season the chicken breasts evenly with the spice mixture.
- Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Simmer the Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and let it melt.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables and herbs for the best flavor.
- Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the sauce as it simmers and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water) before serving.
- Freeze Leftovers: This dish freezes beautifully. Just let it cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
