LEMON-DIJON CHICKEN SKILLET

Lemon-Dijon Chicken Skillet image

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.

Provided by Tayo Ola

Categories Dinner

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!

Tips:

For a crispy chicken, make sure to sear it in a hot skillet until golden brown.
Use high-quality ingredients, such as free-range chicken and fresh lemon juice, for the best flavor.
Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
Add the lemon-dijon sauce to the skillet towards the end of cooking, so that it doesn't burn.
Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This lemon-dijon chicken skillet is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the lemon-dijon sauce is tangy and delicious. This dish is sure to become a family favorite.
