Prepare the sauce. Pour cream into a container. Squeeze the peeled garlic cloves through a press. Add thyme and mustard. Mix everything together. Cream can be of any fat content, but remember that the higher the percentage of fat content of the product, the higher the calorie content of the dish. If you decide to add ready-made spices for chicken, read the composition on the package. Sometimes the mixture already contains salt, take this into account when you salt the meat and sauce, otherwise you risk oversalting the dish.

Bake chicken fillet in cream sauce at 180 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. How to check the readiness of a dish? The top of the chicken will be browned. The pulp should be easily pierced with a knife and clear juice will flow out. A lot of liquid is formed in the form, which can be used as a tasty gravy for a side dish.
