Ingredients

4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup All-purpose flour ~ or gluten-free if needed such as oat or an all-purpose baking blend
1/4 tsp Salt and Pepper
2 tbsp Olive oil
5 cups Fresh button or Portobello mushrooms ~ sliced
1/2 cup Dry white wine
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 bunch Fresh parsley ~ chopped ~ about 1/4 cup chopped
2/2 cup Yellow or red sweet peppers sliced thin ~ optional

Instructions

Wash and dry chicken breasts.
Pound chicken to slightly flatten ~ see notes. This is optional but useful.
Add salt and pepper to flour and stir together. Pour flour onto a large plate. Coat chicken (both sides) with flour mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Medium -high if needed.
Place chicken breasts in skillet and cook each side until browned, about 8 minutes.
Remove chicken and set aside, covered.
Add sliced mushrooms and optional sweet pepper slices to skillet. Cook about 3 minutes.
Add wine and Dijon mustard to skillet and mix together.
Cook on low for 1-2 minutes.
Add chicken breasts to skillet and cover with the sauce.
Simmer covered for about 8 minutes. Check chicken for doneness, inside temp should be 165 degrees F.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over all before serving.

Notes

** Pounding the chicken breast to flatten slightly helps the chicken cook evenly and quickly. Of course, that is optional. If you decide to flatten it, place the boneless and skinless chicken between wax paper or in a freezer-type bag to prevent the raw juices from getting on anything nearby...or yourself. Then, firmly pound on the covered chicken with a meat mallet, a rolling pin, or anything flat.
