Creamy Dijon Rosemary Chicken is a rich, flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a creamy, tangy Dijon mustard sauce with hints of fresh rosemary. This easy-to-make dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, offering the perfect balance of savory, creamy, and herby flavors. The sauce is velvety smooth, making every bite of chicken even more delicious.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (the internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the Dijon mustard and stir to combine with the garlic.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Add the chopped rosemary and stir. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, stir in a tablespoon of lemon juice for a hint of acidity.
  7. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to reheat.
  8. Serve the chicken breasts with the creamy Dijon rosemary sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with your favorite side dish (such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables).

Notes
