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.

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?

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.

This was delicious! Will definitely be making it again.
Caroline
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!!! 🙂
Carol
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.
Catharine
WONDERFUL recipe! Made it tonight with tarragon. Thanks for the calorie count–and this is a perfect dish for those of us doing keto (low carb). But we need to be able to calculate macros based on a serving. Two questions: What is the nutrition data based on (or, what constitutes a serving of this recipe?). Chicken breasts come in a multitude of sizes, often ranging from 4-9 ounces, more than double. And the cooking time would depend on the size. Maybe a temp thermometer would make it easier? 170 degrees in the center? Thanks in advance for your help!
Elaine
This recipe is absolutely delicious! Have been making something similar for years now, using pork tenderloin slices – this too is so good! My son said he could eat this every day!
In the past I have used several other things if I did not have whipping cream available – sour cream, half and half, yoghurt, creme fraiche, even used Carnation milk a couple of times – they all worked very well.
Will br making this again tonight. It’s so quick to make. Try the pork tenderloin version too Danelle. I am sure you will love it just as much.
Nicole
This was SO GOOD! Oddly it has a slight lemon flavor, I’m thinking something to do with whatever Dijon mustard I had. I didn’t have heavy cream, so I substituted Greek yogurt. I read in the comments that sour cream could be used in place of heavy cream and I use Greek yogurt in place of that, so I have it a try. I think I will love it even more next time I make it with the heavy cream. This is definitely going into my regular chicken rotation. It was so easy to make. My picky teenage son like it. Thank you!
Jo
Made this tonight, and overall the instructions were Perfect! The only issue I had was; I chose the 1 tsp of dried Oregano. The flavor was good but I had to simmer the sauce for a lot longer because it was REALLY gritty for a while.
It was worth it.
I can’t wait to try this again with evaporated milk and cornstarch to reduce the fat, because this recipe was incredibly well balanced and delicious!
Jo
I made this the other night, used the Oregano instead of the Tarragon, at first it made the sauce Super gritty, but then I turned the temp down low and let it just soak and it got much better. Very forgiving recipe- I was in the mood for a little more and added garlic powder and it worked great.
So straightforward and uncomplicated, I will be making again often!
Ronnie
Is heavy cream, double cream ?
Danelle
Yes, pretty much. Double cream might be a bit thicker, but you should be able to use them interchangeably in this recipe.
Bea Priddle
Can I use non fat greek yogurt
Daniela
Any sauce with mustard in it – the sure way to get my attention. Just finished dinner. Doubled the sauce because I wanted something to dip my ciabatta in. Delicious!!! Didn’t have any tarragon so added oregano and a cup of diced sautéed mushrooms.
Jennifer
This was absolutely delicious! My husband and I can’t stop talking about it!!! I doubled the sauce after reading the reviews and so glad I did!!! I served this with rice pilaf and it was soooo yummy!! I’m saving my leftover sauce and going to serve over roasted asparagus tomorrow night! I had fresh tarragon in my garden and was so excited to use it! Very French!!!
Christopher Michael
One of my favorite recipes. I add sautéed mushrooms and onions to the chicken and sauce and serve over rice. Yummy!
