  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown, about 6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Pour in whiskey, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Let simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
  4. Add heavy cream and Dijon mustard, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over, and cook until heated through. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use aged whiskey.
