Instructions
Prepare the chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Pro tip: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning for better browning.
Cook the chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from skillet and let rest.
Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature at the thickest part of the chicken.
Start the sauce
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add shallots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
Pro tip: Stir frequently to prevent shallots from burning.
Add liquids
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Pro tip: Deglazing the pan adds depth of flavour to the sauce.
Finish the sauce
Stir in the cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Add thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pro tip: Adjust seasoning at the end for the best balance.
Serve
Slice chicken and serve with sauce spooned over the top.
Pro tip: Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a pop of colour.
