Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Deglaze the Pan: Pour the white wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Create the Sauce: Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken to the sauce and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish.
Tips:
- For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- To make this dish even more flavorful, marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
