Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Spread a thick layer of Dijon mustard over the top of each piece.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the chicken in the hot oil, mustard side down, and sear for 5-7 minutes.
  3. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. Sauté the Garlic: Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Deglaze with Wine: Pour in white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to simmer for a couple of minutes.
  6. Incorporate the Broth: Stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, and dried thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer and cover the skillet for about 15 minutes.
  7. Remove Chicken and Thicken Sauce: Remove chicken from the skillet and increase heat to medium-high to reduce the sauce for 5 minutes.
  8. Finish the Sauce: Stir in butter and fresh parsley into the sauce, allowing the butter to melt.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Place the chicken back into the skillet and spoon the garlic wine sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra juiciness, consider using chicken thighs. Choose a dry white wine for best results, and serve with creamy mashed potatoes or a crisp salad.
