Tender chicken cutlets seared and simmered in a rich, creamy mushroom and white wine sauce. An elegant yet easy one-skillet meal perfect for any night of the week.

Ingredients

3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 6 cutlets)

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

½ tsp garlic powder

2 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp olive oil

12 oz mushrooms, sliced

2 Tbsp butter (for sauce)

1 large shallot, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup dry white wine

1½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

½ cup heavy cream

2 sprigs fresh thyme

1 tsp Dijon mustard

2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 Tbsp water or broth

Optional: chopped fresh parsley or thyme leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry and cut into thin cutlets. Dredge in flour mixed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken cutlets until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
  3. In the same skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter. Add mushrooms and cook undisturbed until browned. Stir and cook until moisture evaporates.
  4. Add shallots and cook until soft. Stir in garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in white wine, scraping up browned bits. Add chicken broth, cream, thyme, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3–5 minutes.
  6. Stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer until heated through. Remove thyme sprigs.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme and serve with your favorite side.

Notes

Use chicken thighs or bone-in pieces if preferred—adjust cook time.

Replace wine with broth and lemon juice for a non-alcoholic version.

Add extra vegetables like spinach or peas for a complete meal.

Omit cream for a lighter version, or substitute half-and-half.

Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
