Ingredients

Scale

3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
½ cup Dijon mustard
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute), then stir in Dijon mustard and heavy cream until well combined.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and let simmer for 5-10 minutes until cooked through.
Serve on plates, drizzling remaining sauce over each piece and topping with fresh parsley.
