Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, chicken broth, and fresh thyme. Mix well to combine.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top of each piece.
Step 8
Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Serve the mustard chicken warm, garnished with additional thyme if desired. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
