If you’re looking for an easy 30-minute dinner you don’t have to stress about, you’ve come to the right place! Everyone will love this perfectly seared chicken with a creamy mushroom sauce.
The sauce is what really makes this dish. It starts out with caramelizing onions and mushrooms, then adding heavy cream, chicken broth, dijon mustard and worcestershire.

This was amazing, I made it for dinner last night and had it for lunch today. So simple to make and I love that it’s a one pan dinner. We had ours with homemade spaetzle.
Thanks for the great recipe!
