  • 7 oz button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • to garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. Lay chicken breasts on a cutting board, slice thinly against the grain, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add lardons, cooking until golden brown and crispy (5-7 minutes).
  3. Add chopped onion to the pan with the lardons, cooking until soft and translucent (4-5 minutes).
  4. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their water and turn golden brown (5-6 minutes).
  5. Push mushroom mixture to the side, add chicken strips in a single layer, and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, then stir and cook until done (5-6 minutes).
  6. Reduce heat to low, stir in Dijon mustard, and then pour in the cream, mixing until smooth.
  7. Simmer on low for 3-4 minutes to thicken the sauce and let flavors meld.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Feel free to substitute lardons with thick-cut turkey bacon or omit for a lighter version. Use chicken thighs for a juicier result. Add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy twist or stir in a knob of butter at the end for extra richness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to prevent the sauce from separating. Enjoy with rice or crusty bread!
