Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded to even thickness
Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup Irish whiskey such as Jameson
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper to taste
Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

Cook the Chicken
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the whiskey and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combine and Serve
  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to heat through.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Irish Chicken Whiskey Cream Sauce with mashed potatoes or rice.
