Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create four thinner cutlets. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then dredge each cutlet in flour.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken cutlets, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add sliced mushrooms and Italian seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  4. Add minced garlic, chicken broth, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced by half.
  5. Add heavy cream, cooked chicken, and mushrooms. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
