Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Add the cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Return the chicken: Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb some of the sauce and heat through.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
