Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits for added flavor.
Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream, whisking until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat.
Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Delectable Dijon Chicken with your choice of side, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
