Step 1: Dredge the Chicken
In a shallow dish, mix together:
-
Flour
-
Paprika
-
Salt and pepper
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. This coating creates the perfect crispy crust when cooked.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6–8 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan for extra flavor. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in:
-
Heavy cream
-
Dijon mustard
-
Lemon juice
Simmer for 3–4 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Combine Chicken and Sauce
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce generously over the top and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
