Ingredients
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Honey
Dijon mustard
Whole-grain mustard
Heavy cream
Fresh garlic
Fresh thyme or rosemary
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
Instructions
Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, pour in the honey and mustard, stirring continuously to combine.
Slowly add the cream to the skillet while stirring, allowing the sauce to thicken. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of chicken broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet, coating them with the creamy sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for about 3-5 minutes, so they absorb some of that delicious flavor.
Before serving, sprinkle fresh herbs on top for a pop of color and flavor. Enjoy your Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken with a side of cooked vegetables or rice to soak up the creamy sauce!
