Description
A delicious recipe for Dijon mustard chicken that is easy to make and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 – 2 T olive oil (will depend on your pan)
- 2 tsp. poultry seasoning
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 T Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. dry mustard
- 1 cup chicken broth (see notes)
- chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
- salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim all visible fat and undesirable parts from chicken breasts, then make very small slits crosswise down the length of each breast. (This helps the chicken to cook evenly. Be careful not to cut through too far.)
- Season chicken with poultry seasoning on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan big enough to hold the chicken in a single layer, add chicken and cook about 4 minutes on the first side, until chicken is lightly browned.
- Turn chicken over and cook 2-3 minutes on the second side, until chicken feels almost, but not quite firm to the touch. (It will continue to cook in the sauce, so don’t overcook.)
- While chicken cooks, put all sauce ingredients in a bowl or large measuring cup, and whisk to combine.
- When chicken is lightly browned, lower heat and pour sauce over.
- Simmer 20 minutes (or slightly longer), being sure to keep heat at a very low simmer.
- When the sauce is mostly reduced, remove chicken from pan and whisk the sauce a few times to be sure it’s smooth.
- Season to taste with a little salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Serve the Dijon mustard chicken hot, with a little sauce spooned over each piece of chicken, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the quantity of chicken broth based on desired sauce consistency.
