Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 shallot (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup brandy or white wine
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear chicken on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped shallot, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Deglaze the skillet with brandy or white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.
  5. Stir in Dijon mustard, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or vegetables.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne or paprika to the sauce.
  • Substitute the brandy with white wine or chicken broth if you prefer an alcohol-free version.
  • You can also use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier result.
