Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (you can also use chicken breast, but chicken thighs will remain more tender and juicy)
  • 8-10 ounces mushrooms, sliced (button, crimini, shiitake)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small clove of garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 2 small shallots, minced
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, plus extra for garnishing
  • Chopped fresh Italian flat leaf parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture then cook until golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prep your mushrooms.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and as soon as garlic is fragrant, after about 1 minute, add mushrooms. Be sure not to crowd the pan - the mushrooms need room to caramelize.
  • Sauté for about 5 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Add the wine and shallots to the skillet and cook until the shallots are just tender, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, mustard, tarragon and 1/4 cup chicken broth, and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens, about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk any accumulated chicken juices from the plate into the pan, and stir in the sautéed mushrooms.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan. Over low heat, spoon sauce over the chicken, for 1-2 minutes to gently reheat the chicken.
  • Serve immediately with an extra sprinkle of fresh tarragon and fresh parsley.
