Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Discard the marinade.
Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the chicken is golden brown on the outside. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Make the Creamy Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer on medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve:
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the creamy sauce over the top.
Let it simmer together for a few minutes so the chicken absorbs some of the flavors.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary before serving.

Serve this Tender Chicken Delight over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta, or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Enjoy!
