Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
  2. Step 2: Chop rosemary, thyme, and garlic cloves finely. Mix with 1 tbsp flour and 1/2 tsp salt to form a paste. Press mixture evenly onto both sides of chicken breasts.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 3 minutes).
  4. Step 4: Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crust is set (do not move until golden).
  5. Step 5: Reduce heat to medium. Add Dijon mustard and white wine, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly reduced.
  6. Step 6: Add chicken stock and simmer for 3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Spoon sauce over chicken.
  7. Step 7: Transfer skillet to preheated 375°F (190°C) oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Step 8: Let rest 5 minutes before serving, drizzling with any remaining pan sauce.
