Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter.

Once the butter is melted and foaming, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.

Cook the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through with no pink remaining.

Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Reduce heat to medium and add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and Dijon mustard until smooth.
-
Pour the cream mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Simmer the sauce gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
