Method:

1. Prep the Chicken:
   • Flatten the chicken breasts slightly with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness.
   • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
   • Dredge the chicken in the plain flour, shaking off any excess flour.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
   • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside, keeping it warm.
3. Make the Mushroom Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they soften, about 5 minutes.
   • Add the chopped garlic and dried thyme, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Create the Creamy Sauce:
   • Pour in the chicken stock and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
   • Stir in the double cream and Dijon mustard, and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
5. Finish the Dish:
   • Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over the top.
   • Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
6. Garnish and Serve:

   • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal!
