Scale
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into cutlets)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 ounces cremini or button mushrooms (sliced)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 large shallots (thinly sliced)
- ½ cup dry white grape juice
- 1 ½ cups low sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 springs of fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (dissolved in water)
Instructions
- Pat chicken cutlets dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken cutlets for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt remaining butter. Sauté sliced mushrooms for about 5 minutes until browned. Add shallots and cook for another 3 minutes; then stir in minced garlic for an additional minute.
- Deglaze the pan by pouring in grape juice and scraping up any browned bits. Add thyme, broth, Dijon mustard, and cream; bring to a boil for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in dissolved cornstarch to thicken sauce; return chicken to the skillet and simmer gently for another 5 minutes until heated through.
