Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 piece yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.

Step 5

Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and grainy mustard. Mix well and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes on low heat, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Chicken in Mustard Sauce warm, paired with rice, potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
