Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Allow the sauce to cook for 2-3 minutes, letting it reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
