Description
Rosemary dijon chicken brings classic French culinary elegance to weeknight dinners. Home cooks can savor rich, herb-infused flavors that complement tender chicken with minimal preparation effort.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1/2 cup Mountain High™ original whole milk plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp freshly chopped rosemary leaves
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by generously coating with salt and black pepper, ensuring even seasoning across the surface.
- Fire up a 12-inch skillet to medium-high heat, melt butter until shimmering, then sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
- Extract chicken from skillet, keeping juices intact, and reduce heat to medium for aromatic development.
- Introduce finely chopped shallots and minced garlic into the skillet, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with dry white wine, scraping accumulated browned bits from the bottom to capture deep flavor profiles.
- Incorporate Dijon mustard and honey, creating a rich, tangy base, then sprinkle one teaspoon of rosemary for herbal complexity.
- Reintroduce chicken to the skillet, nestling pieces into the sauce, and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cover and simmer for 8-12 minutes, monitoring internal temperature until reaching 165°F for safe consumption.
- Remove from heat and gently fold whole milk yogurt into the sauce, creating a silky, creamy texture without curdling.
- Plate the chicken, lavishly drench with sauce, and garnish with remaining rosemary for a vibrant, aromatic finish.
- Serve immediately while piping hot, presenting an elegant, flavor-packed dish.
Notes
- Choose chicken breasts of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking and prevent dry or undercooked sections.
- Pat chicken dry before seasoning to help achieve a perfect golden-brown exterior with enhanced flavor and crispy texture.
- Substitute white wine with chicken broth or apple cider for a non-alcoholic version that maintains depth of flavor.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of whole milk yogurt for extra tanginess and a protein-rich sauce with similar creamy consistency.
