Creamy Mary Berry Dijon Chicken Recipe For Chicken Lovers
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 1 banana shallot finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup white wine
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- ¾ cup double cream
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prep The Chicken
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Step 2: Sear The Chicken
- Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped shallot and sauté until softened (about 2 minutes).
- Cook for a further 30 seconds, or until aromatic, after adding the minced garlic.
Step 4: Deglaze The Pan

- Whisk in the Dijon mustard and double cream, stirring until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6: Combine And Cook
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken breasts and return them to the stove.
