Ingredients

  • 4 8-oz Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil ((divided))
  • 2 cloves Garlic ((minced))
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth, reduced sodium
  • 2/3 cup Heavy cream ((or coconut cream for dairy-free))
  • 1 tbsp Fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp Whole grain Dijon mustard ((regular will also work))

Directions

  1. 1

    Season the chicken breasts on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat a tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and saute for 4-8 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan, along with the garlic. Saute for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the chicken broth. Stir to remove any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Increase heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half.

  5. 5

    Add the cream and thyme. (See notes for sweeter sauce.) Return to a gentle simmer. Gently simmer again for 2-3 minute, continuing to scrape any pieces from the bottom, just until the sauce thickens (it will reduce in volume). Stir in the mustard at the end and turn off heat.

  6. 6

    To serve, pour the sauce over the chicken, or transfer the chicken back to the pan and cover in sauce.
