### Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
– 8 oz mushrooms, sliced

– 1 cup Caesar dressing
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Chicken:**
– Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
– In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. **Cook the Chicken:**
– Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. **Cook the Mushrooms:**
– In the same skillet, add the butter.
– Once the butter is melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they are browned and tender.

– Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. **Combine and Serve:**
– Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
– Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and let everything simmer together for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the chicken is heated through.
– Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
