Preparation Steps
  1. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown.
  2. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in Irish whiskey and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, then add Dijon mustard, chicken broth, and heavy cream, bringing the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over each piece, and let simmer for 5-7 minutes to absorb flavors.
  5. Plate the chicken alongside mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with extra sauce and garnish with parsley if desired.
