Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tented with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Allow the broth to reduce for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let them simmer for 2-3 minutes to rewarm and absorb the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the chicken with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately, pairing with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice.
