Ingredients

2 (8-oz.) skinned and boned chicken breasts
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup canola oil, divided
1 (8-oz.) package fresh button mushrooms, quartered
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 fresh sage sprigs
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons butter
Garnish: fresh thyme sprigs

Instructions

Halve each chicken breast lengthwise to form 4 cutlets. Place each cutlet between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a rolling pin or flat side of a meat mallet. Discard plastic. Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of chicken.
Place flour in a shallow dish, and stir in chopped thyme and rosemary. Dredge chicken in flour mixture; shake off excess. Cook 2 cutlets in 4 1/2 tsp. hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until done. Remove cutlets from pan, and repeat procedure with 4 1/2 tsp. oil and remaining 2 dredged cutlets.
Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to drippings in skillet; add mushrooms, and sauté over medium-high heat 4 to 6 minutes or until browned and all moisture evaporates. Stir in vinegar, and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 3 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Stir in broth and sage; bring to a boil. Boil until liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Remove from heat; stir in mustard. Whisk in butter, 1 Tbsp. at a time. Spoon sauce over cutlets.
