How to Make Chicken With Mustard Pan Sauce

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skin-on chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Season chicken generously with salt and pepper.
Place chicken in the hot skillet, skin-side down. Cook undisturbed until skin is golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Flip chicken and cook for another 3 minutes.
Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While chicken bakes, pour ½ cup dry white wine into the skillet. (Tip: If it flames, simply step back and gently shake the pan until the flames subside.)
Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan (fond).
Bring the wine to a simmer and cook until almost completely evaporated and slightly syrupy, about 3 minutes.
Add ½ cup chicken broth and bring to a boil.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
Whisk the flour slurry, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt into the simmering broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon (or more, to taste) cold butter for extra richness.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and serve immediately.
