The Dijon mayonnaise makes this grilled chicken moist and flavorful. Even though I learned to cook when I was young, and helped make supper for our family, I didn't really enjoy it until now. My husband appreciates my new interest in finding and trying new recipes!

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH A HERB, MUSTARD, MUSHROOM, CREAM SAUCE

Categories     Chicken     Dinner

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 boneless chicken breasts, skin on. You will likely need to buy bone-in breasts and debone them. Or you can use boneless, skinless, if you have to.
1 cup chopped shallots
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup low-salt chicken stock
1/4 cup cream
2 tbsp fresh or 1 tbsp dried herbs (e.g. sage, rosemary, thyme, tarragon)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Melt butter and oil in heavy frying pan over medium high heat. Season chicken both sides. Pan-fry, skin side up, for 5 minutes. Then pan-fry skin side down until skin is brown and almost crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate. Add shallots and mushrooms to pan, reduce heat to medium-low. Season and sauté for about 10 minutes; shallots will soften and mushrooms will release water. Add wine; simmer until all liquid is nearly evaporated, scraping up browned bits. Add stock and herbs, stir. Return chicken to pan, skin side up, so it stays crispy. Simmer until chicken is cooked, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to serving plate. Stir cream and mustard into the pan. Increase heat to high, cook until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Check seasoning. Serve with buttery mashed potatoes, a dark green vegetable, and the sauce over the chicken.

MUSTARD & HERB CRUSTED CHICKEN BREASTS



MUSTARD & HERB CRUSTED CHICKEN BREASTS image

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (16 oz total) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp kosher salt
black pepper, to taste
3 tbsp finely chopped fresh herbs (I used thyme, oregano and basil)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
6 tbsp good quality Dijon mustard (I like Maille Dijon Originale)
1 cup whole wheat panko
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
minced parsley for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut each breast in half lengthwise to create 2 cutlets. Place chicken breasts in between a sheet of plastic wrap and lightly pound chicken to even thickness (I like to do this to ensure the breast cooks evenly but it's not absolutely necessary). Season both sides of each breast with salt and pepper. Mix herbs, garlic and mustard in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese on a plate. Lightly brush each breast in the mustard-herb mixture, wiping off excess, then dredge each breast in the bread crumb-cheese mixture. Heat a large sauté pan over med-high heat. Once pan is hot, add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Place 2 chicken breasts in the pan and brown each side, carefully flipping with a spatula, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place breasts on a parchment lined sheet pan, repeat with remaining oil and chicken, then bake in oven for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) to be safe to eat.
  • Pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness helps them cook evenly. If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy saucepan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of sear, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Mustard-herb chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the mustard-herb sauce is tangy and delicious. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
