Mustard Chicken with Shallots and Cream
Ingredients:
⢠1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
⢠1½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
⢠1½ teaspoons ground turmeric, divided
⢠2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1½ lb. total)
⢠2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
⢠2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
⢠4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
⢠3 sprigs thyme, plus leaves for serving
⢠1 cup heavy cream
⢠3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
⢠1 tablespoon honey
⢠1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⢠Steamed rice or toasted country-style bread (for serving)
Directions:
⢠Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
⢠In a small bowl, combine flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon turmeric. Sprinkle mixture over chicken breasts, coating evenly.
⢠Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. ⢠Sear chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
⢠Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet. SautÊ shallots and garlic, stirring often, until shallots are translucent, about 4 minutes.
⢠Add thyme sprigs, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, honey, black pepper, remaining salt, and remaining turmeric. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
⢠Return chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Transfer to the oven and bake until sauce is slightly reduced and chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C), 20â25 minutes.
⢠Remove skillet from oven. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain into Ÿ-inch thick pieces.
⢠Return sliced chicken to the sauce. Discard thyme sprigs. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves. Serve with steamed rice or toasted country-style bread.
