Instructions

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

    Sear chicken 5 minutes per side without moving until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Reduce heat to medium. Whisk mustard, cream, and broth in the same skillet until smooth.

  5. Step 5

    Return chicken to the skillet and simmer 3 minutes until sauce coats the chicken and looks silky.

  6. Step 6

    Slice tomato. Plate chicken and sauce, top with fresh herbs if desired, and serve with tomato slices.
