Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper

Cooking
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown; remove from skillet.
