"Serve with a nice salad and roasted potatoes for a French bistro style meal."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 (5 -6 ounce) chicken breasts
• salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
• 1⁄3 cup flour
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1⁄2 cup white wine (chicken broth can be substituted)
• 3 tablespoons french-style mustard (whole-grain or smooth is okay)
• 3⁄4 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

directions

1. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season each side with salt and pepper. Spread flour on a plate and dredge each piece of chicken in flour, coating each side. Shake off any excess.
2. Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and oil. Once butter is melted, lay chicken in the pan in a single layer. After about 3-5 minutes chicken should be browned underneath. Turn with tongs and cook until the other side is browned and chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken to a clean plate and reduce heat under pan to medium.
3. Pour wine, or broth, into pan and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Boil until thick and almost syrupy looking, about 3 minutes. Add mustard and heavy cream. Boil until sauce has slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Taste and season with salt if necessary.
4. Place chicken on plates and spoon sauce over each one. Sprinkle parsley over and serve.
