Creamy Mustard Chicken Strips with Mushrooms
One-pan chicken strips and mushrooms in a quick Dijon–crème fraîche sauce.
Why smarter
Prep is minimal with pre-sliced mushrooms and strips. Mushrooms brown in ~7 minutes, chicken cooks in ~7 minutes, and the crème fraîche–Dijon sauce finishes in ~2 minutes plus preheating and plating for a realistic 20 minutes total.
Chef tip
If the sauce looks too thick, loosen with a splash of water from the kettle; if it looks thin, keep it on low heat for 1 minute longer. Shortcut: Use pre-sliced mushrooms and pre-cut chicken strips to stay within 20 minutes.
