Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts skin-on for added flavor
  • 1 cup Flour can substitute with cornstarch for gluten-free
  • 1 teaspoon Salt adjust according to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric can replace with paprika for different flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or butter for a richer taste
For the Sauce
  • 2 pieces Shallots can use onions if unavailable
  • 2 cloves Garlic fresh preferred for optimum taste
  • 1/2 cup Dijon Mustard or yellow mustard for milder flavor
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme substitute with dried thyme (1/3 amount) if unavailable

Equipment

  • medium skillet

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Lightly coat each chicken breast in a mixture of flour, salt, and turmeric.
  2. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides—about 6-7 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and add shallots and garlic. Sauté until softened and aromatic, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream, then simmer briefly to meld the flavors together.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and transfer to the oven. Cook until the chicken reaches 165°F—about 12-15 minutes.
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to maintain its juiciness.
