The sauce on this chicken is so delectably rich! And I love that I don't have any splatters from the chicken cooking. You toast the mustard seeds and prepare the sauce while the chicken is cooking, cutting down the total cooking time.

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breasts, boned (I ask the butcher to do it)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard seeds
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

How To Make chicken breasts with toasted mustard seed sauce

  • Step 1
    Place the chicken breasts, skin side up, on a lightly greased rack in a broiler pan. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bake at 500 degrees F for 15 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and broil the chicken 6 inches from the heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until browned. Transfer the chicken to a large serving platter and keep warm.
  • Step 2
    While the chicken is cooking, place the mustard seeds in a small skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until the seeds start to pop and are lightly browned. Remove the skillet from the heat. Let the mustard cool completely in the skillet.
  • Step 3
    Place the whipping cream in a medium saucepan. Bring just to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until it is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 4
    Stir in the reserved mustard seeds, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, green onions, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Cook until the mixture is thoroughly heated. Pour the sauce over the reserved chicken. Enjoy!
