How to prepare Mustard Chicken Breasts with Herbs

To prepare mustard chicken breasts, first cut the whole chicken breasts in half to get 4 portions 1, then remove any cartilage and small bones 2. Season the 4 chicken breasts obtained with oil 3.

Add salt 4 and pepper, then massage the meat with your hands to season it evenly 5. Heat a non-stick pan well and place the chicken breasts inside 6.

Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side, turning the chicken breasts with kitchen tongs 7. When they are nicely golden all over 8, transfer the chicken breasts to a plate 9 and keep them covered.

Meanwhile, pour Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard 10, and honey 11 into a small bowl, then mix everything together 12.

Melt the butter over low heat in the same pan where you cooked the chicken 13, then add the flour 14 and quickly mix with a whisk 15.

Pour in the milk all at once 16, then add the mustard mixture 17 and stir again 18.

At this point, place the chicken breasts in the pan with the sauce 19, cover with a lid 20, and let cook for another 3-4 minutes without touching them, always on low heat. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the meat. Make sure they are obviously well cooked before stopping the cooking.
