Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Allow the sauce to cook for 2-3 minutes, letting it reduce slightly.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream and mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 8
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
