Description

Imagine sinking your fork into tender, perfectly cooked chicken, bathed in a luscious mustard sauce that sings with tangy zest. This mustard chicken skillet is more than just a meal; it's an experience. The chicken, whether you choose succulent thighs or leaner breasts, emerges from the pan incredibly juicy, each piece infused with the vibrant flavors of the sauce.

The sauce itself is a masterpiece of simplicity. It's creamy and rich, with a subtle depth that comes from the careful balance of savory and tangy notes. The mustard provides a delightful kick, while other ingredients add a velvety texture that coats the chicken beautifully.

Don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting to spoon every last drop over your plate. Adding to the symphony of flavors are earthy mushrooms, sautéed to golden perfection. They bring a hearty element to the dish, complementing the chicken and sauce with their savory goodness.

The mushrooms absorb the flavors of the sauce, becoming little pockets of deliciousness that burst in your mouth with each bite. This dish is quick and easy to prepare, requiring only one skillet and minimal effort. In under 30 minutes, you can have a satisfying and flavorful meal on the table, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual weekend gathering.

The recipe allows for easy customization. While the recipe calls for chicken thighs, chicken breasts or even turkey can be substituted according to your preference. While satisfying on its own, this mustard chicken skillet is also incredibly versatile.

Serve it with a side of spiralized zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or a medley of steamed greens for a complete and balanced meal. Roasted brussel sprouts would also be delicious when paired with the chicken. Whatever you choose, this dish is sure to impress with its incredible flavor and ease of preparation.

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare the ingredients ahead of time. Finely slice the onion and mushrooms, and mince the garlic. Thoroughly wash the spinach and roughly chop it.
    2.
    To make the sauce, add the coconut milk, chicken stock, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, and salt to a bowl. Whisk to mix. Set aside.
    3.
    Add the oil to a large skillet and place it over high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Take the chicken off the heat and place it on a plate.
    4.
    Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions and mushrooms. Saut for 3-4 minutes or until the onions have softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
    5.
    Pour the mustard sauce into the skillet. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
    6.
    Reduce the heat to low and return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through. Add the spinach and stir.
    7.
    Let cook for 1 more minute or until the spinach is slightly wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.
