Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup white wine (or chicken broth)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the finely diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine (or chicken broth). Stir to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
Step 6
Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream. Mix well to combine and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Step 7
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cover and let the chicken cook in the sauce for 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Serve the chicken breasts warm, topped with the creamy Dijon sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
