Creating this Chicken with Creamy Mustard Sauce is straightforward when you follow these clear steps:
- Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add Mustard and Cream: Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream, mixing well until combined.
- Simmer the Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.
- Return Chicken to the Pan: Place the cooked chicken breasts back in the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Heat through for about 2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and drizzle the sauce on top. Sprinkle chopped parsley for a fresh garnish.
