Perfect for an elegant date night or a comforting meal with the family, creamy mushroom chicken can be on the table in just 30 minutes. The magic of this creamy chicken and mushroom dish is the simplicity of its ingredients: quick-cooking chicken breasts, mushrooms, and a pan sauce made with butter, flour, cream. Serve it alongside a big green salad, pasta, fluffy rice, or roasted potatoes.

Ingredients:
  • 4 each Chicken Breast, Skinless and Bonelesss
  • 1 pound Button or Cremini Mushrooms
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1 spoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Calvados
  • To Taste salt and pepper
Section Directions:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
You can keep the chicken warm in a preheated 200° oven. 
Place it on a baking sheet or oven-safe plate. Cover the plate with foil, and keep the chicken warm in the oven until ready to use.

Add drained mushrooms to the juices in the skillet and cook until they start to pop, about 5 minutes.

Whisk together cream, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; pour into the skillet with the mushrooms. and add the calvados. 
Return chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the egg yolk from setting, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. 
An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
