Ingredients

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

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 heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits for added flavor.

Step 6

Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream, whisking until the sauce is smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat.

Step 8

Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Delectable Dijon Chicken with your choice of side, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
