Peppercorn Chicken
This dish brings together the warmth of spices and a bit of kick that’ll have your taste buds dancing. It’s simple to make, yet fancy enough to serve for a gathering. Let’s dive into what you’ll need!
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked rice or mashed potatoes (for serving)
Instructions:
- First, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness so they cook nice and fast.
- Next, crush the black peppercorns slightly—don’t make them dust, we want some texture! Sprinkle the salt and crushed pepper over both sides of the chicken.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Dijon mustard, scraping up all those tasty bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens up nicely.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in that creamy pepper sauce. Let it simmer in the sauce for a couple of minutes.
- Serve it up hot over rice or with some fluffy mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for that extra splash of color!
And there you have it! A dish that not only fills the belly but feeds the soul with love and warmth. Bring on the good vibes and enjoy this peppercorn chicken with your favorite people!
