Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Chicken Tenderloins
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or thyme)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken tenderloins with salt and pepper on both sides for maximum flavor.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken tenderloins. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds just until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
  3. Stir in the Dijon mustard until well combined. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 3-5 minutes, thickening slightly.
  4. Return the chicken tenderloins to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and allow them to heat through for another 2 minutes.
Serving
  1. Serve your Juicy Chicken Tenderloin with Dijon Cream Sauce garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy this scrumptious delight with your favorite side dish!

Notes

For healthier options, swap heavy cream with a dairy-free alternative like coconut cream. Keep the skillet adequately heated for the perfect sear on the chicken. Avoid overcooking it for the juiciest results.
