Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 boneless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken breasts and sauté for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp unsalted butter. Once melted, add 2 finely chopped shallots and 3 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze, and simmer for 3 minutes until reduced by half.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 cup heavy cream, and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard. Add 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves and simmer the sauce over low heat for 5-7 minutes until thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Step 5: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning sauce over them, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm through and infuse flavors.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving for a fresh finish.
