Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Flour for dredging
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream

Method
 

  1. Cut the chicken in half lengthwise to create four smaller cutlets. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then coat in flour.
  2. Heat the olive oil and one tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden. Reduce heat if oil splatters excessively. Remove browned chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the remaining butter, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and honey.
  5. Return the pan to the stove and adjust heat to medium. Stir the sauce until the mustard dissolves, ensuring the liquid does not reduce completely.
  6. Add the cream. Once the sauce bubbles again, return the chicken to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce reduces to your desired consistency.

Notes

  • I used my 10-1/4″ Lodge cast iron skillet to make this recipe. Any skillet is fine, though. You don’t need to use cast iron.
  • Chicken is safe to eat when it’s reached an internal temperature of 165F. Use an instant read thermometer to test for doneness. 
  • I suggest using fairly large boneless/skinless chicken breasts for this recipe since we’re cutting them in half lengthwise. If you have small chicken breasts, use four of them and leave them whole.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth if you have concerns with salt content.
