Dijon Chicken Smothered In Mushrooms Recipes

CHICKEN MUSHROOM DIJON

Steps:

• Pour milk into a wide, shallow bowl. Spread flour into a separate wide, shallow bowl. Dip each chicken breast half into milk to coat; move to the dish with the flour and press chicken into flour to coat entirely.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate; drain fat from the skillet and return to medium-high heat.
• Melt butter in the skillet. Saute mushrooms in hot butter until softened, about 2 minutes. Pour white wine over the mushrooms. Stir gravy, half-and-half, and mustard with the mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
• Return chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Pound chicken to 1-inch thick and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet and cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until browned and the chicken reaches 165°F. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside lightly covering with foil.
• Add butter and garlic to the pan. Cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Stir in white wine, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk in remaining ingredients and simmer for 2-4 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• Add chicken back to the pan along with any juices and cook just until heated through, about 2 minutes.

• Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. In shallow pan, stir together flour, salt and pepper.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Coat both sides of chicken with flour mixture. Cook chicken in hot oil 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove chicken to serving plate; cover to keep warm.
• Stir broth into skillet. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms and mustard. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Spoon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with thyme.

• Remove the chicken and mushrooms from the pan; keep warm.
