This Creamy Mayo Chicken Skillet is a quick and delicious main dish that combines tender chicken with a rich and flavorful mayonnaise sauce. Perfect for a satisfying meal in just a few minutes!

Main Dish

Steps

Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breast and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and spread the mayo mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Allow it to warm for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Tips for Creamy Mayo Chicken Skillet

A chicken breast of even thickness cooks more consistently; unevenly thick sections may turn dry before the center is done.
The sauce should look glossy and cling to the chicken; prolonged heating can make mayonnaise look oily or separated.
Let the skillet rest briefly off the heat before serving so the juices settle and the sauce stays creamy.

Drink pairing

A crisp, unoaked Chardonnay
Its fresh acidity complements the creamy, savory sauce without overwhelming the chicken.

0% option: Sparkling water with lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the mayonnaise sauce may separate slightly.
