2. In a shallow bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder then set asids.
3. Add 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil to a large skillet (wok). Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Dredge the cutlets in the flour mixture, coating both sides, shaking off the excess flour. Add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook another 3-5 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat until all chicken is browned.
4. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter to the pan and heat until melted. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, undisturbed until the mushrooms are very dark on one side. Stir and turn the mushrooms and continue cooking until the moisture is released and then evaporated, and the mushrooms are well browned.
5. Add the sliced shallots to the pan and cook until softened and starting to brown. Add the minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Pour the wine into the pan and scrape to deglaze. Add the thyme sprigs, chicken broth, mustard and cream. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch.

Remove the thyme sprigs, and season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
