WILLIAMS-SONOMA CHICKEN BREASTS WITH WHITE WINE DIJON SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim any fat from the chicken breasts. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
• One at a time, place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap and, using a rolling in, roll across the thickest part of the breast to flatten to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch (12 mm).
• In a large, preferably nonstick saute pan or frying pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the oil. When foaming, add the chicken breasts and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Saute, adjusting the heat as needed to keep the breasts from releasing their juices, until golden and just tender, about 5 minutes on each side. Tip: To test for doneness, insert the tip of a sharp knife into the center of each breast; the juices should run clear and the meat should no longer be pink at the center.
• Transfer to a warmed plate and keep warm.
• Pour off any excess fat from the pan and return the pan to medium-low heat. Add the shallots and saute, stirring, until translucent, 1-2 minutes.
• Add the mustard, cream, and white wine, raise the heat to medium and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the pan bottom. Cook, stirring, until thickened and blended, 2-3 minutes.
• Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and turn the breasts over several times to coat them well with the sauce and to heat them through.
• Transfer to a warmed platter or individual dishes and spoon the sauce over the breasts.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve at once.

With the cut side up, use the palm of your hand to flatten each piece to slightly less than 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken pieces with some of the rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and set aside.

• Add the onion rings, mushrooms, and 1 tablespoon of the broth to the skillet. Cover and cook, stirring frequently, for a couple of minutes or until the onions and mushrooms start to brown and begin to soften. Add a little more broth if the skillet becomes too dry, but only enough to prevent scorching.
• Add the remaining broth, wine, and tomatoes to the skillet mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for about 3 minutes or until the tomatoes have softened. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for several minutes or until about 1/4-1/3 cup of liquid remains in the skillet.
