Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 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 olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, chicken broth, and fresh thyme. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top of each piece.

Step 8

Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Serve the mustard chicken warm, garnished with additional thyme if desired. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
