Instructions
Creating this Easy Creamy Chicken Dish is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
6. Stir in Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Mix well until combined.
7. Season the Sauce: Add dried thyme, dried basil, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
8. Return Chicken to Skillet: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Let it simmer on low heat for about 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
