Equipment
- Skillet
- Whisk
- Frying Pan
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts
- 1 - 2 T olive oil (will depend on your pan)
- 2 tsp. poultry seasoning
Instructions
- Trim all visible fat and undesirable parts from chicken breasts, then make very small slits crosswise down the length of each breast.
- Season chicken with poultry seasoning on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in large frying pan big enough to hold the chicken in a single layer, add chicken and cook about 4 minutes on the first side, until chicken is lightly browned.
- Turn chicken over and cook 2-3 minutes on the second side, until chicken feels almost, but not quite firm to the touch.
- While chicken cooks, put all sauce ingredients in bowl or large measuring cup, and whisk to combine.
- When chicken is lightly browned, lower heat and pour sauce over.
- Simmer 20 minutes, being sure to keep heat at a very low simmer.
- When the sauce is mostly reduced, remove chicken from pan and whisk the sauce a few times to be sure it’s smooth.
- Season to taste with a little salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Serve hot, with a little sauce spooned over each piece of chicken, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Tip 1: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Tip 2: This dish can be frozen, but it’s best to freeze the chicken without the sauce.
- Tip 3: Dijon Mustard Chicken pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a light salad.
- Tip 4: Feel free to experiment with different mustards.
- Tip 5: Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can elevate the presentation.
