Chicken Dijon

Submitted by Semra22

"A very easy to make chicken dish that is good enough for company. This is a long time family favorite that I got from an old Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. The lemon pepper makes it. You can saute a chopped onion with the chicken instead of the powder if you wish, but the powder honestly works better. You can also add more mustard to make it taste more dijon-y."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon pepper

• chicken broth, plus pan juices to make one cup
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1⁄2 cup white wine (or extra stock)

directions

1. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with the onion powder, lemon pepper and salt.
2. Saute the chicken in the butter for about 20 min, or till cooked through and tender. Remove chicken to a platter and keep warm.
3. Measure the pan juices and enough chicken broth to make 1 cup liquid. Return the stock mixture to the pan and add the wine.
4. Stir together the light cream and the flour till smooth. Add to the broth, cook and stir till smooth, thickened and bubbly.
5. Stir in the Dijon mustard , stir till smooth.
6. Return the chicken to the pan, or serve the sauce separately.

I've made this for years! We make a version that is a copykat of a dish from a local restaurant. We double the sauce, because we love the sauce. We then saute fresh spinach with a little olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper, then put it in the bottom of a baking dish. Top with chicken, provolone cheese slices & then the sauce. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes, until bubbly. You can also broil if you prefer.

Semra - thanks so much for this recipe. I've been making this for years, but my BH&G cookbook is in such bad shape, I can barely read the recipe anymore! I was hoping to find a clean copy online and so glad I did! Yes, this is an easy, delicious chicken recipe that my family likes and is defnitely impressive!
