Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut or pounded thin
  • 1/4 cup flour for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt essential for flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper adds warmth
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder for subtle flavor
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for browning
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth for moisture
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard for tang
  • 1 tablespoon honey to balance acidity
  • 1 cup heavy cream for the sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

Equipment

  • Meat mallet or rolling pin
  • Skillet
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by placing your chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Stir in the Dijon mustard and honey until well combined.
  5. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, thickening slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for an additional minute to warm through. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pair with steamed vegetables or pasta for a complete meal.
  • Add fresh herbs like thyme for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
