Chicken with Mustard Cream Sauce

Mmm chicken...and I just rolled my eyes at myself. After gorging on Creamy Macaroni & Cheese for 2 days, and knowing the 4th was coming, I figured a simple chicken & brown rice dinner would be a smart idea. I found this recipe on Let's Dish Recipes and after seeing their delicious looking picture, I was sold. However, while my stomach was hungrily responding to the picture (see below), my brain forgot that I don't entirely love mustard.  If you don't like mustard, don't make this recipe.  

Let's Dish's Pic.
I mean, HOW GOOD DOES THIS LOOK????

Overall, it was super simple and quick to make.  But, when something is simple,  my brain tells me I know what I'm doing. Let's just say it was a MIRACLE J didn't get food poisoning due to some undercooked chicken.  Note to self, check BOTH pieces of chicken before serving. 

Chicken with Mustard Cream Sauce

Serves: 2

Cook time according to Danelle at Let's Dish: Didn't say

Cook time according to Rachel: About 30 minutes

How difficult was this for Rachel to make? Easy

Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp dried tarragon or oregano (I used oregano)
salt & pepper to taste

Note: minus the chicken, the recipe above is for 4 pieces of chicken. I made the extra sauce because it was recommended. Eh, not sure you really need all that sauce.

Directions:

Add olive oil to skillet and preheat over medium-high heat.  Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet & sauté until COOKED through 10-12 mins, turning once. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.  

The recipe calls for adding in the chicken broth without draining out the cooking oil. Well, it looked gross, so I drained the skillet before adding in the broth. Once broth has been added, whisk in cream, mustard and oregano. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes. So I had to use a wooden spoon bc my whisker was preoccupied in the washer...and my sauce didn't come out as thick. Make sure to whisk and not just stir.  Pour over chicken & enjoy!
