I was in my room yesterday busy on Facebook working on the blog when G called from downstairs asking if I wanted lunch. I headed to the kitchen expecting a quick Foreman-grilled burger of some sort and was greeted by a pan of moist chicken breasts swimming in a creamy dijon sauce instead.

G doesn’t really cook often, but when he does, he always amazes me with the things he whips up in the kitchen. Sometimes I wonder if I am the REAL food blogger in the house.

Every bite of the chicken dijon was absolute heaven, I had him make it again today so I could eat it for lunch jot down the recipe and take photos to share with you.

If you’re looking for a quick and easy meal to add to your dinner rotation, this chicken dijon mustard recipe is it! Just a handful of ingredients, 30 minutes and one pan are all you need for a flavorful-packed dish that’s sure to be a family favorite.

Tips on How to Make One-Pan Dijon Chicken

  • Pound the chicken with meat mallet to a uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Pat the chicken dry and cook on medium-high heat so they’ll sear and brown nicely.
  • Do NOT clean the pan after pan-frying the chicken. Those browned bits and pieces add incredible flavor to the sauce.
  • After browning the onions and garlic in butter, the pan is deglazed with white wine. You can omit the wine you like and just double the amount of chicken broth.
  • If you want to cut back on fat, swap half and half for the heavy cream.
  • I used Italian seasoning but fresh/dried parsley or basil will work as well.
  • For a smooth, creamy sauce do not bring the sauce to a boil as the heavy cream might curdle or separate.
