A creamy and flavorful chicken dish with a hint of Dijon mustard, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the salt level in the dish.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning, which can make it bitter.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Ensure the chicken is in a single layer to cook evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
Whisking the sauce ingredients ensures a smooth and well-combined mixture.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cover.
Covering the skillet helps the chicken cook through evenly and keeps the sauce from reducing too much.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Serving the dish immediately ensures the sauce remains creamy and the chicken stays juicy.
