Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Chicken Breasts boneless, skinless, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ Tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter you can use salted too but then add more/less salt to taste
  • 1 Cup Yellow Onion finely diced
  • 12 Ounces Sliced Mushrooms cremini or baby bella, sliced not too thin
  • 1 Tablespoon All Purpose Flour if you want extra thick sauce, add 1 teaspoon more
  • 1-½ Cups Half and Half you can also use heavy cream for a richer sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard mustard can vary, if it's mild use an extra ¼ teaspoon
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • Cup Water or Broth

Instructions

  • Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the seasonings.
    1 Pound Chicken Breasts, 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder, ½ teaspoon Salt, ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper, 1 teaspoon Onion Powder, ½ Tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken in the pan with the smooth side down.
    1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Cook over medium-high heat for 4 minutes until golden brown. Flip the chicken, and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  • Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add onions and cook for 1 minute. Toss in the mushrooms and cook until golden, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan (that’s where the flavor is!).
    3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, 1 Cup Yellow Onion, 12 Ounces Sliced Mushrooms
  • Sprinkle in flour and stir for 1 minute. Slowly add half the cream while stirring, then add the rest.
    1 Tablespoon All Purpose Flour, 1-½ Cups Half and Half
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, broth or water, and mustard. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 3 minutes until it thickens to the texture of pouring cream. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
    1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce, ⅓ Cup Water or Broth
  • Return the chicken (and any juices from the plate) to the skillet. Let it simmer for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
  • Serve over pasta or egg noodles and top with parsley or chives if you like!
