Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cooking Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
Making the Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom to release any bits stuck to the pan. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, stirring until well combined. Let simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is well coated in sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Serving
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
For best results, ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness. Adjust mustard amount based on your taste preference.
