Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
• 1/4 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive or canola oil

Preparation

Step 1

3.Stir broth into skillet. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms and mustard. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Spoon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with thyme.
