Chicken With Mustard Cream Sauce And Pasta Recipes

CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• *Amount of cream and broth has slightly decreased; add more as needed.Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so that you have eight smaller, thinner chicken cutlets. Salt and pepper both sides.Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook cutlets on both sides until nice and golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep on a plate. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic to the pan and saute it for a minute, stirring to make sure it won't burn. Next pour in the brandy (or wine if using) being careful if cooking over an open flame. Then just let the booze bubble up and cook until it's reduced by half. Throw in the mustards and stir to combine, then pour in the cream. Stir in chicken broth, adding more if the sauce seems too thick. Taste sauce and adjust whatever you think it needs. Add chicken breasts back to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Allow sauce to cook for another few minutes, shaking the pan if needed to move things around. Serve chicken with a green salad, spooning the sauce over the top. Yum and...yum.

CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE AND PASTA

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. While pasta cooks, start cooking the chicken.
• To a large skillet add the olive oil, chicken, and evenly season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and sauté over medium-high heat for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through; flip midway through cooking. If all the chicken doesn't fit in the pan, cook in batches. Remove chicken from pan (keep the oil and cooking juices from the chicken in the pan), place on a plate, and set aside.
• Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir intermittently.
• Remove skillet from the heat and add the wine and chicken broth. It will bubble vigorously so use caution. Return the pan to the heat and cook until liquid has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Add the mustards and stir to combine.
• Turn the heat to low and add the cream, stirring to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes to allow sauce to reduce and thicken.
• Taste sauce and add salt and pepper to taste. Optionally add sugar to taste. The wine I used was quite dry and the spicy grainy brown mustard was quite spicy and I needed a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
• Add the chicken back to the skillet and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is warmed through, and sauce thickens a bit more. It doesn't become 'thick' but by reducing, it thickens a bit. Flip chicken midway through cooking or spoon sauce over the chicken to ensure all sides are evenly coated with sauce.
• Evenly sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with pasta. I had plenty of extra sauce and spooned it over the pasta. Chicken is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat very gently so the sauce doesn't break.

Steps:

• Heat the oven: to 350F. Place a baking sheet near the stove, ready for the chicken.
• Finish the chicken in the oven: Transfer the chicken to the baking sheet and place in the oven for 5 minutes (longer if the chicken breasts are thick), or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast registers 165 degrees. If the chicken is done before the sauce, transfer it to a serving platter and tent it loosely with foil to keep warm.

Add the wine and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Combine water with the reserved 2 tsp. flour. Add to the pan and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream, mustard, 2 Tbsp. sage and the remaining 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Return the chicken to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce.
