Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 pieces shallots
• 0.25 cup brandy
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and chopped shallots to the same skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 5

Carefully pour in the brandy, allowing it to deglaze the pan. Gently scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits.

Step 6

Add the chicken stock, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and chopped thyme to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Cook the sauce for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the chicken is heated through.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Transfer the chicken to serving plates and pour the creamy brandy sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately alongside your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables.
