Ingredients

  • 2 whole chicken breasts sliced lengthwise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Creamy Mustard Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons shallot sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ tsp salt to taste
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • chopped parsley to garnish

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts halves with garlic powder, rosemary, pepper and salt.
  • Dredge the seasoned chicken in flour and coat them evenly.
  • Heat a large skillet with oil on a medium flame, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes until they turn golden. Transfer them to a plate and set aside.
  • To the same skillet add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add shallots and garlic, cook for a minute.
  • Pour the chicken broth and whisk simultaneously, stir in the Dijon mustard and rosemary. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, salt and pepper, allow the sauce to slightly thicken for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken back to the skillet and cook until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Garnish the mustard chicken with chopped parsley and serve with any veggies on the side.

Notes

  • Try to buy chicken breasts that are similar in size so they will cook evenly. 
  • If you don’t want to cut the chicken lengthwise, you can pound the chicken breasts into even thickness and double up the quantity to make 4 pieces.
  • Swap the heavy cream for half and half for a lighter pan-sauce.
  • Be sure to pat the chicken breasts dry before pan searing. It’ll also help the seasoning stick better.
  • Use freshly minced garlic. It brings out so much flavor compared to pre-minced garlic.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken as it’ll become tough. Once the chicken has hit 165F, pull it off the heat so it doesn’t overcook.
  • Feel free to add some spinach or kale to the sauce for some extra greens.
