This elegant Chicken Diane recipe features tender chicken in a creamy mushroom-brandy sauce. A quick, one-skillet dinner ready in just 30 minutes!

Ingredients

4 (5–6 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
or 2 (10–12 oz) chicken breasts, halved horizontally into 2 cutlets

1½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided

¾ teaspoon black pepper, divided

1 tablespoon canola oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

2 (8 oz) packages sliced fresh button mushrooms

1 large shallot (about 1½ oz), finely chopped (¼ cup)

2 tablespoons (1 oz) brandy

½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

¼ cup heavy whipping cream

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

¼ cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Sear Chicken: Season chicken evenly with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. Heat oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and internal temp reaches 165°F, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; keep skillet uncleaned.

Cook Mushrooms & Shallot: Reduce heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms and remaining 1 tbsp butter; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release liquid and brown (about 5 minutes). Add shallot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Deglaze & Make Sauce: Add brandy and cook until almost evaporated, about 15 seconds. Add chicken broth, cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer, stirring, until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.

Finish & Serve: Stir in parsley and remaining ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Remove from heat. Return chicken and juices to the skillet. Nestle chicken in the sauce. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Brandy can be substituted with white wine or omitted if preferred.

For deeper flavor, use a mix of mushrooms such as cremini or shiitake.

Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

This dish pairs well with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.
