A simple yet flavorful recipe for Golden Chicken with Mustard and Shallots, featuring tender chicken with a crispy golden-brown crust and a rich, creamy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts, skin-on
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 pieces Shallots
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 cup Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme

Instructions

  1. Lightly coat each chicken breast in a mixture of flour, salt, and turmeric.
  2. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and add shallots and garlic.
  5. Sauté until softened and aromatic, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  6. Stir in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream, then simmer briefly to meld the flavors together.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and transfer to the oven.
  8. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 12-15 minutes.
  9. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to maintain its juiciness.
  10. Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute flour with cornstarch.
  • For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
  • Ensure skillet is hot enough before searing for a proper golden crust.
  • Cook chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness (165°F).
  • Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing for maximum juiciness.
  • If the sauce is too thin, simmer it a bit longer after adding cream to thicken.
