Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp whole grain mustard (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), and thyme. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
  • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, you can substitute half of the heavy cream with milk or a dairy-free alternative.
  • Pair this dish with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier texture.
