Description
A comforting dish of Creamy Mustard Chicken with a rich, creamy sauce and tender chicken, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the creamy sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the Dijon mustard, mixing well before pouring in the heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
- Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with your favorite sides.
Notes
Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for consistent cooking. This dish pairs excellently with steamed vegetables or fluffy mashed potatoes.
