• 1 tablespoon of mustard paste
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon of vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of white flour

For the Mustard Sauce:

• 10 mushrooms, sliced thinly
• ½ cup of liquid cooking cream
• 1 tablespoon of mustard paste
• 1 cup of chicken broth or lukewarm water

For Garnishing:

• Steamed vegetables (as desired)
• 6 sprigs of finely chopped parsley

How to Prepare Mushroom Piccata with Mustard Sauce:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a large bowl, place the chicken fillet. Grate the onion over the chicken, then add 1 tablespoon of mustard, salt, black pepper, vinegar, and lemon juice. Use your fingers to rub the mixture into the fillet, ensuring it’s fully coated with the marinade.
   • Cover the fillet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to absorb fully.

2. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and slice it into thin pieces, about 1 cm thick.
   • Place each slice between two sheets of parchment paper and gently pound it with a meat mallet to flatten it further.

3. Cook the Chicken:

   • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter melts and the oil is hot.
   • In a wide bowl, place the flour, and coat each chicken slice on all sides before frying.
   • Fry the chicken slices in the skillet for about 4 minutes on one side until they turn light golden, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat the process for all slices, then set them aside on a plate.

4. Prepare the Mustard Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes until they soften slightly.
   • Add the cooking cream, water or chicken broth, and 1 tablespoon of mustard paste. Stir well and bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 2 minutes.

5. Combine the Chicken with the Sauce:

   • Return the fried chicken slices to the skillet and let them simmer with the sauce on medium heat for about 10 minutes until fully cooked.

6. Serve:

   • Transfer the mushroom piccata with mustard sauce to serving plates, garnish with finely chopped parsley, and serve with a side of steamed vegetables.

And that’s it! Your delicious and elegant mushroom piccata with mustard sauce is ready to be served. We hope you enjoy this flavorful recipe!
