Clock

Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup white wine (or low-sodium chicken broth)
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut chicken in half crosswise, and pound to an even thickness in a zip-top plastic bag using the heel of your hand or a meat mallet. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Melt butter with oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side or until browned. Transfer chicken to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until done.
  3. Meanwhile, add wine to skillet, scraping skillet to loosen browned bits. Cook until wine is reduced by half. Add cream, mustard, and parsley; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. Return chicken to skillet; cook 2 minutes.
