Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom. Bring the broth to a simmer and let it reduce by about half, which should take approximately 5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Let them simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes to heat through and soak up the flavors.
Step 7
Add the chopped fresh thyme, stirring lightly to combine. Allow it to cook for an additional minute or two.
Step 8
Serve the chicken hot, garnishing with additional thyme if desired.
