Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided (½ stick)
- ⅓ cup diced shallots
- ½ cup white wine (can sub low-sodium chicken broth)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Halve each chicken breast lengthwise to create 4 even-sized pieces.
- Whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge both sides of the chicken in the flour mixture. Set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken and sear on both sides until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add in the remaining butter and shallots. Saute until the shallots soften.
- Add in the wine, and cook until evaporated, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add in the chicken broth, mustard, heavy cream, salt and pepper.
- Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Add the chicken back into the skillet. Cook, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is warmed through. Sprinkle with parsley and serve!

Notes
- Storage: Store mustard chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This recipe also works well with chicken thighs.
- Make sure to cut the chicken into even size so they all cook at the same time.
- When searing the chicken, go for medium-high heat and use a nonstick pan.
