Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves (fresh or dried)
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are 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. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the Dijon mustard, honey, chicken broth, thyme, and heavy cream. Mix well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let it melt into the sauce.

Step 7

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Mustard Baked Creme Chicken with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
