Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin cutlets)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy Dijon sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and thicken the sauce slightly.
