Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 4 ounces each) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- Cooking spray
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth, low-sodium
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Lightly coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tented with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken broth. Bring it to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and incorporate the browned bits.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat evenly. Let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley, green onions, and lemon juice.
Serve the chicken Diane immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and alongside your choice of steamed vegetables or a light salad.
