Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion to the same skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Garnish the chicken with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your choice of side dishes such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
