Creamy Dijon Chicken
Description
The recipe starts by seasoning thin chicken cutlets with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. The chicken is seared in olive oil until golden and cooked through, then set aside. In the same skillet, butter and minced garlic form the base for a rich sauce.
Chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce are combined and simmered to meld flavors while scraping up any browned bits from the pan for added depth. Heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese are stirred in to create a creamy, slightly tangy sauce. Fresh spinach is added to wilt gently, incorporating bright color and flavor contrast to the dish.
This chicken can be served on its own, alongside rice, pasta, or vegetables, making it a filling dinner option with a rich yet balanced sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning $0.10
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder $0.05
- 1/2 tsp onion powder $0.05
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
- 1/2 tsp black pepper $0.02, freshly cracked
- 2 chicken breast $6.49, boneless, skinless, about 1.3 lb
- 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.32
- 2 Tbsp butter $0.27
- 2 garlic $0.16, cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth $0.17
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard $0.04
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce $0.05
- 1/3 cup heavy cream $0.65
- 2 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese $0.20, grated
- 2 cups spinach $0.76
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix together the seasoning for the chicken: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully fillet each chicken breast into two thinner cutlets. Season each breast with the seasoning mix on both sides.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken and cook on each side until golden brown and cooked through (about 4 minutes per side). Remove the cooked chicken to a clean plate and cover to keep warm.
- To the same skillet add the butter and minced garlic cloves. Turn the heat down to medium-low and sauté the garlic for one minute until fragrant.
- Next pour the chicken broth into the skillet and add the Dijon mustard and worcestershire sauce. Stir together and scrape up any brown bits that may be stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Now add in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese and stir well. Allow the sauce to simmer in the skillet for 5 minutes. Taste the sauce at this point and add salt and pepper if desired.
- Add in the fresh spinach and stir it into the sauce allowing the heat to wilt the spinach.
- Finally, return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the Dijon sauce over top. Allow the chicken to heat through. Serve hot with your favorite side and enjoy!
