Dijon Chicken Essentials
Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are best for this recipe, but you can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
Sauce: White wine adds depth of flavor to the butter and garlic along with the heavy cream for a velvety smooth sauce.
Mix It Up: Boost the dish with sliced mushrooms, chopped spinach or kale, or peas. Parmesan will add a tangy creaminess as well. If you don’t have Dijon, try stone ground mustard or honey mustard for a different flavor profile. Experiment with herbs like tarragon and thyme.
