Preparation

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Cooking

  • Add the chicken breasts to the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 6 to 7 minutes per side, until thoroughly cooked.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, avoiding burning it.
  • Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream, combining well. Bring to a gentle simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is coated with the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
