I’m loving quick and easier dinners lately, especially when they taste as good as this Skillet Chicken with Mustard Cream Sauce! This recipe couldn’t be any easier yet the end results are unbelievably delicious and perfectly flavorful. The sauce is so good you’ll wan to eat it by the spoonful! My husband isn’t a huge mustard fan but he said this is some of the best chicken he’s ever had. Even my three year old loved it!

This is a recipe I’ll definitely add to my dinner rotation because it’s an all around dinner win! And considering the 1/2 cup cream is spread out among 3 or 4 chicken breasts I’d still consider this to be a healthy dinner. I had never tried mustard and cream together but now I’m totally sold. Incredible things happen when you blend the two. Cream enhances anything it touches though, right?

Don’t wait to try this one, you are going to love it!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to hot oil in skillet and cook 5 - 6 minutes per side until cooked through (chicken should register 165 degrees in thickest part of chicken on an instant read thermometer). Transfer to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Add garlic to remaining oil in pan and saute 10 seconds, then add chicken broth, cream, mustard, thyme and sage and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened slightly, about 1 - 2 minutes. Stir in honey and (if needed) season lightly with salt. Serve chicken with sauce over top and garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired.

    We used fresh thyme and sage and maybe 1/2 tsp honey. Excellent quick and easy dinner. Thank you!

  • Courtney

    Absolutely delicious and so easy to make. This is going to be a repeat dish in my home!

    I, basically, threw everything in my One Pot. I browned the chicken on saute function. Removed chicken and added garlic and the rest of the ingredients. Then, put chicken back into pot. I increased the chicken broth to 1/2 cup and used canned condensed milk instead of cream. I cooked it on manuel for 8 minutes and let it natural release for about 5 minutes. It was fantastic!

    Loved this ! It was fast, easy, and the chicken was moist. (I cut the breasts in half and was worried they might get too dry). The sauce ? It was so good, I put less on top of my chicken and used some as “dressing” for the accompanying spring mix salad ! This is a great addition to my list of “go to” dishes!

    Made this for the second time and it was just as good as the first. Didn’t even see the honey in the recipe, oops, but it didn’t need it unless you wanted to soften the mustard tang. I used half n half as I always have it and I let it reduce a bit – came out great! Thanks for a winner dinner!

    Hi Jaclyn! Superb recipe. So easy to follow and wonderfully delicious. I don’t use honey in cooking due to the glycemic index and being prediabetic, but instead I subbed 1.5 teaspoons of crisp white wine and Oh. My. Word! It made this dish amazing. Thank you for sharing! I’ve saved this for future use. Cheers!
