Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.

Sear chicken 5 minutes per side without moving until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium. Whisk mustard, cream, and broth in the same skillet until smooth.
