Cooking Instructions
- Season chicken with the salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Place chicken smooth side-down and cook for 4 minutes or until deep golden.
- Turn chicken and cook the other side for 3 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature 72°C/162°F). Remove to a plate.
- Scrape any loose black bits out of the pan and discard.
- Return the pan to medium heat. Add cream and both mustards. Mix with a wooden spoon until mustard dissolves, scraping up any brown bits.
- Once sauce is hot but not simmering, stir in salt, pepper and herbs (if using). If getting too thick, loosen with a touch of water.
- Place chicken on serving plates. Spoon over sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
Chicken can be substituted with breast, which requires shorter cooking time. Fresh herbs are optional and add flavor but can be omitted.
