Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large (finely diced) yellow onion
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, mixing well. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts completely, creating a smooth, creamy sauce.

Step 8

Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and let the chicken cook in the sauce for 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

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

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the chicken with the creamy sauce spooned over the top. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
