My French friend showed me this recipe, and it’s been a hit every since!
1. Liberally sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken breasts.
2. Heat the olive oil in a big pan over medium heat. Brown the chicken breasts, two or three minutes each side. Place the slow cooker on high heat.
3. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute, or until it begins to release its aroma, in the same skillet. After brown parts have been scraped from the pan, add the chicken stock and boil for a few minutes.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker after stirring in the whole grain mustard and Dijon mustard.
5. Simmer, covered, for four to five hours, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
Gather the heavy and sour creams in a small basin and mix them together when the cooking time is almost over. With a gentle swirl, transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.
7. After 20 to 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the chopped thyme. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and is cooked through.
8. Garnish each serving of chicken with a little fresh parsley.
A lower-fat alternative would be to use Greek yogurt in place of the heavy cream and sour cream; however, be careful to whisk it in shortly before serving to prevent curdling.
– For milder tastes or those who are fussy eaters, you may use a third of a cup of whole grain mustard instead.
– An exquisite harmony may be achieved by incorporating a spoonful of honey into the sauce for an extra touch of sweetness. – Feel free to play around with other meats by substituting turkey cutlets or pork loin in this recipe.
– Keep a close check on the chicken the first time you cook it in a slow cooker to make sure it doesn’t cook too long since slow cookers might differ. Our goal is to achieve a moist and delicate texture!
The most important thing is to make a dinner that your family will appreciate, so feel free to adjust the ingredients and methods to suit your family’s preferences. Your guests will feel cared for and welcomed by this Slow Cooker Creamy French Mustard Chicken, which is more than simply a dinner.
