Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear chicken 3-4 minutes per side without moving—edges should look golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add minced shallot to the pan, cook 90 seconds until softened and fragrant, stirring often.
Step 5
Pour in white wine, scraping up browned bits, then add stock, thyme, and mustard. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Return chicken to the pan, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 6-8 minutes until cooked through.
Step 7
Remove from heat. Stir in cream, taste, and adjust salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
