Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish, mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper together.

Step 2

Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter.

Step 6

Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the skillet by scraping any brown bits from the bottom.

Step 8

Stir in the Dijon mustard, ensuring it is fully mixed into the broth.

Step 9

Add the heavy cream and allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.

Step 10

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.

Step 11

Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the chicken and let cook for another 5 minutes until the chicken is thoroughly heated.

Step 12

Finish with a splash of lemon juice for added brightness.

Step 13

Serve the chicken breasts with the sauce on top, garnished with extra thyme if desired.
