Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon, plus more to taste, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 ½ cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons French's Dijon Mustard
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced, plus more, chopped, for garnish,
½ lemon, zested
½ lb baby bella mushrooms, sliced
½ lb asparagus, woody ends removed, stalks cut into 2 in (5 cm) pieces
½ cup peas, fresh or frozen

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.
Enjoy!

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup chopped fresh sage
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 medium zucchini
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Combine butternut squash, fresh sage, Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt in a bowl. Toss until squash is completely coated and place on the right side of a large nonstick baking sheet (17 1/4 x 11 1/2-inches).
Combine horseradish, Dijon mustard, onion powder, and garlic powder in a second bowl. Add chicken thighs and mix until well coated. Place chicken thighs in the center of the baking sheet.
Slice zucchini into 16 equal size spears. Place spears on the left side of the baking sheet. In a small bowl mix 1 tablespoon olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Brush olive oil mixture on zucchini and sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

Use a food processor or blender to finely chop the onion and garlic. This will help them blend into the sauce more easily and create a smoother texture.
If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use yellow mustard instead. However, Dijon mustard has a sharper flavor that will add more depth to the sauce.
Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are very thin and can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This carb-friendly Dijon horseradish chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and creamy. Plus, it's low in carbs and high in protein, making it a great option for those following a healthy lifestyle.
