Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 cutting board
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 tongs or spatula
- 1 serving plate
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 lbs total.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.
Instructions
- Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm on a serving plate. Reduce the heat to low.
- In the same skillet, add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Allow to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring the chicken absorbs the flavors of the sauce.
- Serve the chicken breasts drizzled with the creamy sauce and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
You can serve this dish over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.
For a healthier option, you can use low-fat cream or coconut milk instead of heavy cream, but adjust the cooking time accordingly as they may thicken differently.
Add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor and nutrition.
