Make

Whisk vinegar, mustard and honey together in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil while whisking. Top with pecans, kale, cranberries and crumbled goat cheese (wait to toss it all together until just before serving). Set salad aside while preparing chicken.
Heat a saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Add first part of cooking oil. To hot oil, add chicken and sear on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, ~3 minutes on each side (do this in batches and add some additional oil if your pan cannot hold all of the chicken). Transfer chicken to a plate and return skillet to the heat.
Add second part of cooking oil and then mushrooms to heated pan. Saute, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pan, until mushrooms are golden brown, ~5 minutes. Add shallots and thyme and saute until shallots are fragrant, ~2 minutes more.
Pour wine, stock and cream over mushrooms and increase heat to high. Simmer until sauce reduces by half, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with some salt and pepper.
Add chicken back to pan and use a spoon to coat with sauce (don’t worry if the chicken is overlapping). Leave over heat for 1 minute to rewarm chicken and allow the flavors to come together.
Toss salad just before serving.
Serve chicken with mushrooms and sauce over top. Enjoy with salad on the side.
