Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts , or two whole chicken breasts
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt , divided
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons butter , divided
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 shallot , thinly sliced or finely chopped (about 6 tablespoons)
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
Instructions
- Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and slice in half lengthwise to make two thin cutlets. Season both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and the freshly ground black pepper then dredge each breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter with the canola oil in a large skillet (do not use non-stick) over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter or sheet pan and cover with foil.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook for 1 minute, while scraping the pan. Then add the chicken stock and bring to a boil until the liquid reduces by half, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cream and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and which in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the Dijon mustard. Stir in the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and add the chicken breasts back to the skillet, spooning the sauce overtop. Top with chives before serving.
Notes
- Keep the cooked chicken breasts warm while the sauce cooks by plating on a platter and covering with aluminum foil, or place in a 200°F oven.
