Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 pieces shallots, finely chopped
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the shallots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 6

Whisk in the yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set them aside on a serving platter, keeping them warm.

Step 9

Reduce the sauce over medium heat for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauce is smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.

Step 10

Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
