Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 piece shallot, finely minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze the pan and incorporate the browned bits.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon juice, mixing until smooth and well combined.
Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Cook for another 3-4 minutes to reheat the chicken and allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Dijonnaise chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or steamed rice.
