Made this tonight and my family loved it. It was quick easy and fits with eating low carb. Thanks for the recipe. I will make this again. ~ David
It’s not a bad idea to double the sauce, as that gives you plenty for the chicken, plus some left to spoon over a side of rice.
This meal is easy enough for a week night dinner, but fancy enough for company. My favorite kind of recipe! Trust me, this is one chicken dish you’ll be making over and over again!

I love tarragon in a sauce. It’s such a nice change, and I don’t see it used often. Looks delicious!

That sounds wonderful! I just bought dijon mustard too.

This is a fabulous recipe! I made it recently and my husband and I instantly loved it. I’ve since made it two or three more times. The sauce is so rich, creamy, and flavorful. Thanks for sharing!

I made this last night for dinner. It was delicious! I doubled the sauce because my husband likes lots of sauce, he enjoyed it so much he almost licked the plate!

Just made this for my boyfriend, I was looking for something quick and easy and this turned out amazing! I seared the chicken in a stainless steel pan and the chicken turned out caramelized crispy! The boyfriend loved it, served it with asparagus, mushrooms and snow peas! SO GOOD! Thank you for sharing this!
Danelle
So glad you and your boyfriend liked it. It’s one of my favorites too!
Melerella
I like to cook with things I already have in the house and unfortunately I don’t have heavy cream on hand. Do think if I use a can of campbells cream of chicken soup as a substitute that it would work? Well i”m going to try it tonight and see how it works, but I think next time I’ll try it the recipe as is.
Cindy hathaway
Try sour cream as substitute
Tamara
This looks amazing, but the recipe says to preheat the oven… And then the oven isn’t used?
I’m confused.
Danelle
Tamara, the recipe is referring to pre-heating the skillet with the oil on the stovetop, not preheating the oven.
Rachel A.
Made this tonight and loved it! My only issue, the sauce was a bit thinner than yours. I’m new to the kitchen…did I just not cook it long enough? Will definitely make this again!
Bailie
Mainly you just need to let the sauce reduce a little longer to get it thicker. sometimes we get impatient but if you want it to not seep everywhere just leave it on the stove a little bit longer and it should thicken up.
Heather
Could you sub the heavy cream for buttermilk?

I made this last night. It was a fast and yummy chicken recipe. Which I love!
Michelle
Soooo good and warm and yummy on a day you do not feel like spending a whole lot of time on dinner, but want a home cooked meal…I served with chicken rice and it was received well by my hubby, 1 year old, 5 year old, and 8 year old. Thumbs up!
M!SS Natalie
I made this last night- it was really good and my boyfriend said he loved the sauce! (I overlooked the chicken a bit or he probably would not have made the distinction of only loving the sauce :P) I will definitely make this again. thanks!

My husband and I found this recipe while looking for low carb options. I don’t use Dijon mustard often because to me it can be very “strong” tasting. But this was very good! I love that I already have all the items on hand that I need to make this. If you have not tried this recipe, its definitely worth it.
Danelle
Thank you! I’m so glad you liked it!

Thanks for the recipe! We are going extremely low carb and so excited to find another low carb dinner idea!! Going to make it tonight!
Kasi
This recipe looks great! I can’t wait to make it. But I was wondering what kind of rice you usually pair it with? Chicken flavored or just plain white rice? I’d love to know.
Thanks!
Danelle
I usually just do plain rice, but whatever you like best would work great!

I made this last night and my husband and I both loved it. Next time I will make a creamy mustard sauce pasta with chicken and peas.

Made this last night for my hubby. It was delish! I did double the sauce as suggested, lots of yummy goodness to put over the rice & cut Italian beans I served with it. Definitely will be making this again. Directions were easy to follow and all the supplies were in the pantry.
Crystal
Been meaning to write a review for some time. This is our favourite dish in my house at the moment. It is divine. I add onions and garlic. Serve with rice and green beans. Easy but very tasty. Kids enjoy it also. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Danelle
Thank you!!! 🙂

Since heavy cream can curdle I was wondering if you could use Greek yogurt or something else instead. It would also lower the calories.
Danelle
I think Greek yogurt would be a fine substitute.
Martha
Made this as instructed – sooo delicious! I added garlic pepper. My family LOVED this!
Shannon Heishman
Can I use fresh taraggon instead of dried? If so, how?
Danelle
Yes, you’d want to use about twice as much.
Marge
My husband and I loved this dish. I will definitely be making this again. I doubled the sauce. We used it over our rice too.
Jo
We love this recipe! Make it once a week! I also love that the calories are included.
