Ingredients
- 2 whole chicken breasts (~2 pounds), skinned, boned, and quartered
- salt and pepper
- 6 T butter
- 3 shallots, minced
- 3/4 c dry white or red wine[1]
- 1 c heavy cream
- 1/4 c chicken stock
- 4 T grainy mustard (such as Moutarde de Meaux or Pommery) [2]
- 1 large tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped (optional)
Preparation
Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a saute pan or heavy skillet over medium-high heat, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter. Saute the chicken breasts for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until browned. Do not overcook. Transfer the chicken pieces to a heated platter and keep warm.
Remove any excess fat from the pan. Over medium heat saute the shallots briefly. Add the wine, cream, and stock; bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the sauce has thickened.
Whisk in the mustard, combining well.[3] Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, one at a time. Return the chicken to the sauce and heat through for another minute.
Place the chicken breasts on individual plates, spoon the sauce over each, and top with a twist of the pepper mill.
