Season The Chicken. Start by preparing the chicken breasts. Add the chicken breast to a large bowl, then add the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, paprika, and cracked black pepper. Mix well until both sides of the chicken are evenly coated with the seasoning. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken. Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook them for about 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Make The Mustard Sauce. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook them until they are soft and translucent, stirring occasionally.
Stir in Dijon mustard, chicken broth, parmesan cheese, and thyme. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in heavy cream, stirring until the sauce is well combined and starts to thicken.
Season the sauce with salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the mustard sauce. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is heated through and coated with the flavorful sauce.
