Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1.25 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 6 ounces Brie cheese (rind removed and sliced thin)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove them from the skillet and set aside (they won't be fully cooked yet).

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for additional flavor.

Step 6

Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over them, and then top each breast with slices of Brie cheese.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the Brie is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, spoon some additional sauce over the chicken, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
