Steps:
- Season the chicken evenly on both sides with 1½ tablespoons salt. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from the pan (it will not be fully cooked) and set aside. Wipe out the pan if it looks charred.
- Melt the butter in the pan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute, then whisk in flour. Pour in the chicken broth, whisking, then add French's Dijon Mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and whisk until smooth. Simmer sauce for 1-2 minutes, then stir in the heavy cream. Return the sauce to a simmer, place the chicken in the sauce, and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer until chicken is fully cooked through, 5-10 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the pan. Stir the minced parsley and lemon zest into the sauce, then taste for seasoning. Slice the chicken. Remove the sauce from the heat.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and season with salt to taste. Saute mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 7-10 minutes. Remove mushrooms from the pan.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the pan. Add asparagus and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Add the peas and cook 1 minute more.
- Place the vegetables on a plate. Top with sliced chicken and drizzle with the dijon sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.

LEMON-DIJON CHICKEN SKILLET
This tender chicken in a luscious lemon-Dijon sauce might look like it came from a nice restaurant, but it's a dish you can cook up in your own kitchen, while staying within budget (and under 400 calories!). The trick is using the cooking juices as the base of the rich-tasting sauce and upping its flavor further with a couple of impactful ingredients, like Dijon, rosemary and lemon. While we often like cooking with boneless chicken thighs for the sake of convenience, bone-in chicken ensures extra flavor in this recipe. Remember to remove the chicken from the pan, so it doesn't overcook while you finish the sauce. Keep the chicken warm, and then plate it all up beautifully. When you serve up this meal, your dinner companions will be impressed, and you can congratulate yourself on pulling off such a nice meal without any extra fuss.

Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
- For a crispy crust, make sure the chicken is dry before searing. Pat it with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Use a combination of olive oil and butter to sear the chicken. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and will also add flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of sear.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it is golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
- To make the blueberry Dijon sauce, use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed.
- Use a good quality Dijon mustard for the sauce. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce.
- Simmer the sauce for a few minutes until it has thickened. This will help the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the chicken with the blueberry Dijon sauce immediately. The sauce can also be served on the side.
Conclusion:
Blueberry Dijon chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the blueberry Dijon sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
