Equipment

  • saucepan
  • frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary can substitute thyme
  • 2 medium summer and/or zucchini squash chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 1 ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • If desired, season the chicken with thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Meanwhile, for the squash, toss it with 1 tablespoon of oil in a shallow baking pan. If desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast at 425°F for 10-12 minutes, until browned and tender.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter. Add cream and mustard to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly until slightly thickened.
  • Serve the sauce over the chicken and squash. Sprinkle additional thyme over the top if desired.
