Ingredients
4 chicken fillets, cut into bite-sized cubes
1 shallot, finely chopped
¾ cup (200 ml) heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dijon or strong mustard
20 g (1½ tablespoons) butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Season the Chicken
Pat the chicken cubes dry and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Sear the Chicken
Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Shallots
In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and sauté for 2 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Make the Creamy Mustard Sauce
Lower the heat and stir in the mustard and heavy cream. Mix well until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Combine Everything
Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it in the sauce. Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.
Serve & Enjoy
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm with rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
Helpful Tips
Add sliced mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
A splash of white wine can make the sauce even richer.
For a lighter version, substitute cooking cream with Greek yogurt.
Creamy, tangy, and packed with flavor, this easy chicken dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a quick weeknight meal.
