Step 1
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter stops foaming, add the chicken and sear until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 2
Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the cream and remaining 1/2 teaspoon dill. Bring to a rapid simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low.

Step 3
Continue to simmer until cream is thickened and bubbles look big and velvety. The cream should coat the back of a spoon without dripping off. Remove from the heat and whisk in mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
