How to Make Chicken In Mustard Sauce

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside, keeping drippings in the pan.
  4. Add white wine to the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, tarragon, and red pepper.
  6. Simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet.
  8. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 5 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  9. Serve immediately over cooked rice, noodles, or with crusty bread.
