Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Let the broth simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard. Whisk the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mustard cream sauce over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 10-12 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the chicken is heated through.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
