Creamy Mustard Chicken Light Recipes

CREAMY MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Add the olive oil, then cook the chicken about 8 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165º degrees. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.
• In the same skillet, add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until the onions soften and turn translucent. Add the garlic cloves, and cook just 30 seconds.
• Add the white wine, dijon mustard, and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce has reduced by half, will take about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low, then add the heavy cream and butter. Whisk to combine. Add the chicken back to the skillet to warm thru.
• Serve the chicken warm, topped with the creamy dijon mustard sauce and chopped chives. I love this on top of white rice, cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, mashed cauliflower or roasted potatoes.

CREAMY HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN WITH CRISPY BACON

Steps:

• In a large, shallow dish, combine the honey, mustard, garlic, oil and salt to taste (not too much salt if serving with bacon as the bacon will add a salty flavour when served). Coat chicken evenly in the sauce. Set aside.
• Heat a nonstick pan (or skillet) over medium heat. Fry bacon until crispy; transfer to a plate. To the same pan, sear chicken fillets on each side in the oil left over from the bacon until just beginning to brown (about 3 minutes per side -- not completely cooked through as we will finish them in the sauce).
• Add any remaining honey mustard sauce into the pan along with the cream and milk. Bring to a simmer while stirring occasionally to mix the favours through the sauce (about 3 minutes), until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a warm plate.
• Pour the cornstarch mixture into the centre of the pan, mixing it through the sauce until it thickens. Place chicken back into the pan; coat with the sauce. Top with the bacon and garnish with parsley.
• Serve over steamed / roasted vegetables for lower cal options. Also great with pasta, rice or mashed potatoes!

CREAMY HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prepare your chicken (cut it in half lengthwise so you have 4 smaller cutlets). Sprinkle them with the garlic powder and salt & pepper and then coat them in the flour.
• Heat the olive oil and one tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Once the pan is hot, add the chicken pieces and cook them for 4-5 minutes/side or until they're golden. If the oil starts to splatter a lot, reduce the heat. Once the chicken is browned, take it out of the pan and set it aside.
• Take the pan off the heat and add the rest of the butter, the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and the honey.
• Return the pan to the stove and adjust the heat to medium. Stir the sauce until the mustard has dissolved (make sure the liquid doesn't reduce completely).
• Add the cream. Once the sauce is bubbling again, add the chicken back in. Let it cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is reduced to your liking.

CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE AND PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. While pasta cooks, start cooking the chicken.
• To a large skillet add the olive oil, chicken, and evenly season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and sauté over medium-high heat for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through; flip midway through cooking. If all the chicken doesn't fit in the pan, cook in batches. Remove chicken from pan (keep the oil and cooking juices from the chicken in the pan), place on a plate, and set aside.
• Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir intermittently.
• Remove skillet from the heat and add the wine and chicken broth. It will bubble vigorously so use caution. Return the pan to the heat and cook until liquid has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Add the mustards and stir to combine.
• Turn the heat to low and add the cream, stirring to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes to allow sauce to reduce and thicken.
• Taste sauce and add salt and pepper to taste. Optionally add sugar to taste. The wine I used was quite dry and the spicy grainy brown mustard was quite spicy and I needed a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
• Add the chicken back to the skillet and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is warmed through, and sauce thickens a bit more. It doesn't become 'thick' but by reducing, it thickens a bit. Flip chicken midway through cooking or spoon sauce over the chicken to ensure all sides are evenly coated with sauce.
• Evenly sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with pasta. I had plenty of extra sauce and spooned it over the pasta. Chicken is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat very gently so the sauce doesn't break.

CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• *Amount of cream and broth has slightly decreased; add more as needed.Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so that you have eight smaller, thinner chicken cutlets. Salt and pepper both sides.Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook cutlets on both sides until nice and golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep on a plate. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic to the pan and saute it for a minute, stirring to make sure it won't burn. Next pour in the brandy (or wine if using) being careful if cooking over an open flame. Then just let the booze bubble up and cook until it's reduced by half. Throw in the mustards and stir to combine, then pour in the cream. Stir in chicken broth, adding more if the sauce seems too thick. Taste sauce and adjust whatever you think it needs. Add chicken breasts back to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Allow sauce to cook for another few minutes, shaking the pan if needed to move things around. Serve chicken with a green salad, spooning the sauce over the top. Yum and...yum.
