Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the same skillet.
Stir in the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release the browned bits.
Stir in the heavy cream, honey, Dijon mustard, and whole-grain mustard until well combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken and sauce before serving.
Serve the Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
