CHICKEN BREASTS DIANE
I have been making this for over 10 years and is the most requested recipe I have! This is everyone's favorite chicken dish I make! It's a nice change from "ordinary" chicken! Goes well with steamed broccoli. (Note: This is a "Diane" recipe, therefore has a mustard taste to it!!)

CHICKEN DIANE WITH CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES
One of my husband's favorite dishes is steak Diane but I'm not a big red meat eater. So, I came up with this chicken version made with a sauce that has the same flavors as the original. I serve it alongside "crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside" roasted potatoes that cook in the time it takes to make the chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the ghee and toss to coat. Liberally sprinkle with flaky sea salt then arrange all the potatoes cut-side down. Roast in the oven until golden brown, crispy and easily pierced with a paring knife, 18 to 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes roast, prepare the chicken: Liberally season both sides of the breasts with kosher salt and pepper.
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining ghee followed by the chicken. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this point.) Remove to a shallow bowl or plate.
- Next, add the remaining 1 tablespoon ghee followed by the shallot and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes, then season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and add the cognac or brandy. Carefully ignite the alcohol with a match and place back on the heat. Cook until the flame subsides, 10 to 15 seconds.
- Add the stock, cream, Dijon and Worcestershire sauce. Stir together and taste for seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed. Add the chicken breasts and simmer until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- To serve, divide the potatoes between 2 shallow bowls or plates followed by the mushroom sauce and chicken. Sprinkle with the chives, parsley and more pepper.

PAUL PRUDHOMME'S CHICKEN DIANE
This was one of my FAVORITE chicken dishes growing up. We didn't have it too often, (for health reasons :) but when we did I knew it was going to be a good night! If you can't find Paul Prudhomme's "Magic Cajun Spice" you can substitute his "Magic Poultry" or even "Magic for Veal or Pork", but the Cajun seasoning gives it a good kick! Also, we much more prefer boneless skinless thighs. In our family's opinion this dish is just not as flavorful with breast meat, but I left the recipe as it was written by Paul Prudhomme.

Steps:
- Cook pasta and set aside.
- Mash 1/3 of the butter or margarine and combine with seasoning and chicken.
- Heat a skillet over a high fire until it's hot (about 4 minutes).
- Add chicken pieces and brown them about 2 minutes on the first side and about 1 minute on the other.
- Add mushrooms and cook 2 minutes.
- Add green onions, parsley, garlic and stock.
- Cook 2 more minutes or until the sauce is at a rolling boil.
- Add remaining butter or margarine (cut into pats), stirring and shaking the pan to incorporate.
- Cook for 3 minutes and add the cooked pasta.
- Stir and shake the pan to mix well.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Choose the Right Chicken: For Chicken Diane, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best options. They cook quickly and evenly, and they're easy to slice or dice.
- Tenderize the Chicken: To make the chicken extra tender, you can pound it with a meat mallet or marinate it in a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken Diane is a quick-cooking dish, so be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a Good Quality Mushroom: The type of mushroom you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your Chicken Diane. Cremini mushrooms are a good option, but you can also use shiitake or oyster mushrooms.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme and parsley add a lot of flavor to Chicken Diane. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: When you're searing the chicken, don't crowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Make Sure the Sauce is Thick Enough: The sauce for Chicken Diane should be thick and creamy. If it's too thin, you can thicken it with a cornstarch slurry.
- Serve Immediately: Chicken Diane is best served immediately after it's cooked. The chicken will be tender and juicy, and the sauce will be creamy and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Chicken Diane is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always impressive. It's perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and flavorful mushrooms, Chicken Diane is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
