Ingredients
Chicken
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 2 Tbsp olive oil divided
Creamy Mustard Sauce
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/3 medium yellow onion very finely minced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp grainy or stone ground mustard
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/4 tsp dried sage
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tsp honey optional
- 1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
Instructions
Cook Chicken
- Pat chicken dry and trim any excess fat. Combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and onion powder. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the chicken, on both sides.
- Heat 1 Tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over MED HIGH heat and cook chicken thighs, 3 at a time, for approximately 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Transfer chicken to a plate and repeat with the remaining 3 chicken thighs, adding the other 1 Tbsp of oil. Transfer all chicken to plate.
Make Sauce
- To the same skillet, add butter and heat over MED heat. Add onion and cook 3-4 minutes, until softened, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
- Add garlic and cook about 1 minute more.
- Add chicken broth, both mustards, thyme, rosemary, and sage and stir to combine. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, reduce heat slightly and continue cooking 3-4 minutes, until sauce has thickened slightly.
- Stir in honey and parsley, then return chicken thighs to the skillet. Spoon a bit of sauce over the chicken and serve garnished with additional minced fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- If you notice the sauce isn’t thickening enough to coat the back of a spoon, you can easily thicken it up. To a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp cornstarch and 1 1/2 Tbsp cold water until smooth, then stir that mixture into the sauce as it simmers.
