Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Irish barley tea
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.

  4. Pour in barley tea, scraping up browned bits; simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and simmer again for another 5 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low; slowly add heavy cream while stirring continuously. Mix in Dijon mustard and thyme, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet; simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb flavors. Stir in butter before serving.
  7. Plate each chicken breast with sauce on top and garnish with parsley.
