Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until melted.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the chicken.
  3. Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon of chopped rosemary for 1 minute.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Lower the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, and the juice of half a lemon, simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Mix in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted. Adjust the consistency if necessary.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the pieces, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Garnish with finely chopped parsley before serving.
