  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup whiskey
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Pour whiskey into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits, and cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  4. Add heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Stir well and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to reheat.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Adjust the whiskey amount for a stronger or milder flavor.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
