3. In a bowl, mix together the cream, Dijon and brown sugar. 
4. Add the onion, if using, to the skillet along with the Dijon mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Serve. Store the chicken covered in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
