Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat 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 from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, chicken broth, and fresh thyme. Mix well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top of each piece.
Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the mustard chicken warm, garnished with additional thyme if desired. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
