Ingredients

For Chicken Steak:

 2 boneless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

For Mushroom Sauce:

 1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

 Chicken preparation:

• Place chicken breasts in between two plastic wraps; pound them to have an equal thickness.
• Rub both the sides of the chicken using olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Letting it rest for about 10-15 minutes.

Chicken cooking:

• Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of olive oil.
• Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
• Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

 Mushroom Sauce Preparation:

• In the same pan, melt butter and add olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
• Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
• Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes. This will help it to slightly reduce.
• Lower the heat, add the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

 Assemble the Dish:

• Place the cooked chicken steaks on a serving plate.
  Pour the mushroom sauce plentifully over the chicken.
  Garnish with fresh parsley if you want.
• Serve:
  Chicken steak with mash potatoes, steam vegetables or buttered rice for an all-round meal.

Tips

Tender Chicken:

Let the chicken marinate in buttermilk for one hour before seasoning for the extra tenderness.
Thicker Sauce: Add a spoon of cornstarch mixed with water if you prefer a thicker sauce.

Make Ahead:

The mushroom sauce can be prepared a day ahead and reheated gently before serving.
