Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, for garnish
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 3

Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.

Step 8

Let the wine reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Whisk in the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and chicken broth until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Add the chopped thyme and stir well. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce.

Step 11

Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, turning the chicken once halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 12

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
