Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tented with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Allow the broth to reduce for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let them simmer for 2-3 minutes to rewarm and absorb the flavors.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the chicken with fresh parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately, pairing with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice.
