### 👨🍳 Instructions: Let’s Make This Dish!
#### 1. **Prep Your Protein**
Start by seasoning your protein (whether chicken, fish, pork, or tofu) with a little salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the protein and cook it until golden brown and cooked through—about 5-7 minutes per side for chicken. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
#### 2. **Make the Sauce**
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Let it melt, then toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant—be careful not to burn it.
Next, add the chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan (those bits are packed with flavor!). Bring it to a simmer, then stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3–4 minutes.
#### 3. **Bring It All Together**
Return your protein to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Let it simmer together for another 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is nicely coated and heated through.
Garnish with fresh herbs if you like, and get ready to enjoy a dish that will truly blow your taste buds away.
