Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped shallot
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1 quarter cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covering with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and lift any browned bits. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.
Stir in the whole-grain mustard and heavy cream, whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 more minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mustard sauce over the top. Heat for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a side of rice for a complete meal.
