Prepare this easy, one-pan chicken skillet dinner featuring tender chicken breasts coated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze, finished with a rich cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chicken broth to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Whisk in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and dried thyme into the skillet.
  6. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the cream sauce over the chicken.
  8. Heat through for 1 minute before serving.

Notes

  • Serve this skillet meal over rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside steamed green beans for a complete dinner.
  • For a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes, or add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of cold water during step 5.
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts; adjust cooking time as needed.
