Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

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. (Estimated time: 5-7 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Add drained mushrooms to the juices in the skillet and cook until they start to release their moisture and lightly brown, about 5 minutes. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
20 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together cream, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

04

Step
0 mins

Return chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the egg yolk from scrambling, until chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 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). (Estimated time: 15-20 minutes)

05

Step

Serve immediately over hot cooked rice. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider using cremini or shiitake mushrooms instead of button mushrooms.
To prevent the egg yolk from scrambling, ensure the heat is on low and stir the sauce frequently.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or milk to thin it out.
A dry hard apple cider may be used in lieu of the heavy cream for a more authentic flavor.
Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for a pop of color and aroma.
