Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup white wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Dredge each chicken breast lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side, then transfer them to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the chicken stock, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Garnish the dish with fresh parsley and serve hot, alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
