Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of chicken broth
1 cup of heavy cream
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add heavy cream, Dijon mustard, thyme, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.
Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring each piece is coated with the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
