Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 38m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 boneless skinless chicken cutlets ((about 6 ounces each))
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 tablespoon each chopped fresh parsley, thyme and rosemary, plus extra for garnish
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and season on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Stir in butter.
  • When the butter is foamy, add the chicken cutlets to the pan. Cook until the chicken is browned on both sides and the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165° F, about 3-4 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan, so brown the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside while you make the sauce.
  • Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and rosemary and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken broth to the skillet; use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, so that the liquid reduces by about half.
  • Reduce heat to low, whisk in the cream, Dijon and honey. Cook for a few more minutes to let the sauce thicken. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Return chicken to the skillet; garnish with additional fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Use a Good Quality Dijon Mustard: The quality of your Dijon mustard will make a big difference in the final flavor of the dish. Look for a mustard that is sharp and tangy.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Let the Chicken Rest: After you've cooked the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This Dijon thyme chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and creamy. Serve it with roasted potatoes and vegetables for a complete meal.
