Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ to 1 ¾ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to an even thickness (4 average to good-sized breasts)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- ½ cup white wine* or chicken broth or as necessary
- ¼ to ⅓ cup Dijon mustard use more if you want extra sauce
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 to 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey optional and to taste
- lemon slices optional for garnishing
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley optional for garnishing
Instructions
- To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.
- Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Again, do not disturb the chicken while it's searing.
- Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.
- Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.
- Add the Dijon mustard, butter, lemon juice, and allow the butter to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted and the sauce has combined.
- Turn the heat off, taste the sauce, and if you want it a bit sweeter, optionally add honey, to taste, and stir to combine.
- Add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the lemon butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
- Optionally garnish with lemon slices, parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Wine: I recommend white wine because I think the flavor is better than with chicken broth, and I personally believe that the alcohol burns off, and what you're left with is the flavor imparted by the wine. However, use broth if that is a better option for your lifestyle or needs.
- Storage: Chicken will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 4 months.
