  • 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups sliced gourmet blend mushrooms
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp. country-style mustard
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.

  2. In a large ovenproof saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with 1 tsp salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan, skin side down; cook, turning once, until golden brown, 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan.

  3. Add mushrooms and onion to pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, cream, mustard, cornstarch, thyme and remaining 1/4 tsp salt; bring to a boil. Return chicken to pan; transfer pan to oven.
