Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 piece yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.
Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and grainy mustard. Mix well and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes on low heat, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Chicken in Mustard Sauce warm, paired with rice, potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
