Dijon Chicken with Mushrooms and Chivesis a delicious chicken dinner recipe! It’s prepared with tender chicken breasts served with a lightened-up Dijon Cream sauce loaded withmushrooms and chives. Super easy, one skillet dinner ready in about30 minutes!
Dijon Chicken: A Classic Made Simple
When hectic weekdays demand meals that are fast to prepare, cook, and clean up, this Dijon chicken recipe is your perfect match! Enjoy succulent chicken coated in a lusciously light Dijon cream sauce packed with mushrooms and fresh chives. Prepared in just one skillet, this simple yet exquisite dish is ready in half an hour.
Dijon Chicken is probably one of the very first “fancy” dinners I learned to make via the Food Network. I thought I was DA BOMB the first time I made it.Therewas pride bursting out of my pores. I was also barely 17, flipping grilled cheese sandwiches one day and making impressivedinners the next. 😁
This simple recipe guarantees tender and flavorful chicken breasts in under an hour. The sauce is so good, it’s tempting to sip it straight from the pan! And, with only one pan needed to make the entire dish, it’s a breeze to prepare.
How To Make Dijon Chicken
While Dijon Sauce is normally made with heavy cream or half & half, my version of it is with light sour cream and a nice helping of Worcestershire sauce. I love the robust, sweet and sourflavor that it adds to the sauce.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
- Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until they start to soften.
- Meanwhile, mix Worcestershire Sauce, sour cream, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth.
- Spoon the Dijon sauce over the chicken and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the chicken and mushrooms to a serving plate, and garnish with chives.
Serving Suggestions
Dijon Chicken pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. It goes well with garlic parmesan roasted vegetables, mashed sweet potatoes, or even a simple green goddess salad. For a low-carb option, consider serving it with mashed cauliflower.
Storing Leftovers
- Leftover Dijon Chicken should be stored in an airtight container and kept refrigerated for 3 to 4 days.
- While you can freeze this dish, the sour cream in the sauce may separate upon thawing; however, the taste will remain intact. Store it in an airtight container and consume it within 1 to 2 months.
- Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

I made this recipe last night and my family was really delighted at how good it was. My husband had the leftovers for lunch and remarked that he hoped I saved the recipe 🙂 I didn’t have mushroom; but, other than that I followed the recipe exactly. Big flavor for so few ingredients!! I’ll be checking this site more often for recipes. Thank you!!

This recipe was great, Katerina! We made it with Greek yoghurt (like Carrie suggested), and served over rice (to soak up the sauce), and although a little tangy, we really enjoyed it & it will be a feature in our recipe box. Thanks again for sharing all your wonderful recipes!

I never keep sour cream in the house, do you think the same amount of plain greek yogurt would work?

Hi Carrie, we made this last night, but with Greek yoghurt as you suggested. Not sure if you got around to making it, but it was great. A bit tangy, but wonderful all the same. Thanks for suggesting the yoghurt!
