Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 chicken thighs skin removed
- Salt and pepper
- 2 shallots thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 2 teaspoons grainy mustard
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard the sauce, not the seasoning!

- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Add chicken thighs, and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until browned. It doesn't need to be cooked through yet, just sear it. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.

- Add remaining ingredients to the skillet. Stir to combine, scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Raise heat and bring to a boil.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove chicken to a serving dish. Stir remaining cream into the sauce and whisk until combined.
- Pour sauce over chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Mustard - can use all of one type of mustard or even yellow mustard

Just made this and it was super easy and super yummy! The only change that I made was to use a little thinly sliced onion instead of the shallots since that's what I had on hand. The whole family declared it a winner!
