Dijon mustard This plus the cream are the two key ingredients for the sauce.
Dijon is a smooth, mildly-flavoured mustard that adds flavour as well as thickening the sauce.
While not all Dijon mustards are created equal, theres no need to use a pricey gourmet Dijon here.
Just your everyday brands are fine.
Wholegrain mustard The mustard seeds add visual interest as well as little pops of faint pungency in this sauce.
Golden pan seared chicken thighs seasoned with just salt and pepper. Don’t need anything else with a sauce this good!
Just dial up the Dijon by an extra teaspoon or so to compensate.
Fresh parsley For a hint of freshness but more for colour than flavour.
Seasonboth sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
Cook chicken Sear the chicken until golden and cooked through.
Breast: It will only take around 2 minutes on each side over high heat.
Theyre packed with meaty, umami-laden flavours and dissolve into the sauce once you add liquid to the pan.
