Golden-Seared Chicken Diane with Velvety Dijon Mushroom Cream Sauce

A classic chicken Diane elevated with a golden sear and a rich, velvety Dijon mushroom cream sauce, perfect for a special dinner.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts on all sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Add shallot and garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the sauce.
