Ingredients
  

  • 500 g fresh mushrooms
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 unit onion
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Lid for the skillet

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook until golden brown for about 5 minutes.
  3. Set the chicken aside on a plate.
  4. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.
  5. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and begin to brown.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and spread Dijon mustard over each piece, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently together, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  8. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 25 minutes.

Notes

Use high-quality Dijon mustard for the best flavor. Substitute chicken thighs with breasts or turkey cutlets if preferred. If avoiding dairy, coconut cream is a great alternative. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to three days; reheat gently with a splash of cream or broth. For an added touch, garnish with fresh parsley before serving, and consider serving with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
