What’s in White Wine Skillet Chicken?
This dijon chicken in white wine sauce combines perfectly seasoned chicken thighs with a rich and flavorful sauce. Made of butter, onion, garlic, chicken broth, wine, heavy cream, mustard, and thyme, it’s simply the best!
Chicken Thighs: We used boneless chicken thighs for this recipe for maximum flavor. Feel free to use skinless chicken breasts if you so wish! White Wine: Use dry or off-dry white wine like sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, or pinot grigio. Herbes de Provence: A delicious herb and spice blend that really amplifies the flavor. Butter: Unsalted butter is used as a flavorful, fatty base for the creamy sauce. Yellow Onion: The onion gets caramelized in the butter for an even more amazing flavor! Garlic: Garlic has always paired wonderfully with white wine chicken! It adds a lot of flavor and depth to the dish. Chicken Broth: This is what makes this sauce saucy! Olive oil: Olive oil is used to cook the chicken and give it a nice flavor and sear. Heavy Cream: Heavy cream puts the “creamy” in creamy white wine sauce. Don’t skip it! Mustard: We used a combination of honey mustard, dijon mustard, and country mustard for lots of dimension. Thyme: The perfect herb for creamy chicken sauces! Salt & pepper: Salt and pepper are great for bringing out the natural flavor of this tender chicken.

What Else Can I Add to Creamy Chicken Dijon?
Try adding some veggies to your white wine chicken. Any kind of mushrooms would taste amazing, like shiitake or baby bella mushrooms. Green beans would taste delish in the cream sauce as well. If you’re a cheese fan, sprinkling in some parmesan cheese would definitely up the decadence. And a squeeze of lemon juice would add a touch of acidity for a more complex flavor. Don’t be afraid to get creative with it!
