Instructions
- In a large glass baking dish, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and marinate overnight.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and discard marinade. If grilling the chicken, do so, then set it aside, keeping warm while making sauce.
- Melt butter in a large skillet. If sauteing the chicken, add in a single layer and cook until browned, about 5 minutes on each side and remove from pan, keeping warm while making the sauce.
- Add mushrooms to the same pan. (You may need to add more butter if you cooked the chicken in the pan). Saute mushrooms until golden, then remove to a plate. Add garlic and shallots to the pan and saute for two minutes.
- Add the wine and bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up any browned bits. Combine lemon juice and cornstarch and add to pan, stirring until slightly thickened..
- Add mushrooms back into pan and stir well. Remove from heat and serve over the chicken breasts.
