Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- Coarse sea salt & freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 shallot , thinly sliced
- 3 cloves fresh garlic , thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup white wine , or low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon coarse whole grain mustard
- 3 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Butterfly both chicken breasts and then tenderize them using the flat size of a meat mallet to make them a uniform 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, heating for 1 minute and then adding the chicken breasts. Sear on both sides until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.
- Without wiping out the skillet, add the shallot and garlic, sauteing for 1 minute.
- Deglaze the pan with the white wine (or chicken stock), scraping up the browned bits with a spoon.
- Stir in the butter, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, fresh thyme and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cream.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over top, simmer on low for 5 minutes. Sauce will reduce, but not be super thick.
- Serve over couscous, rice or buttered noodles to help soak up the sauce.
