Title: Chicken w/Mustard Cream Sauce
Categories: Poultry, Dairy, Wine, Herbs
Yield: 4 Servings

1 1/2 lb Skinned, boned chicken *
Salt & pepper
1/4 c All-purpose flour
1 1/2 tb Unsalted butter
1 1/2 tb Oil
1 c White wine
1 c Heavy cream
1 ts (rounded) Dijon mustard
3 tb Capers; rinsed well
2 tb Chopped fresh parsley

Set the oven @ 350┬║F/175┬║C.

Place a baking sheet near the stove, ready for the
chicken.

PREPARE THE CHICKEN: Season the chicken on both sides
with salt and pepper.

Pour the flour onto a large plate and dredge chicken
until well coated. Shake off the excess.

BROWN THE CHICKEN: In a large skillet over medium
high-heat, heat the butter and oil. When the butter
has melted and looks foamy, add the chicken. (Work in
batches if your pan isn't big enough so that you don't
crowd the pan.)

Brown the chicken for 3 minutes per side, or until
golden.

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).

If the chicken is done before the sauce, transfer it to
a serving platter and tent it loosely with foil to keep
warm.

MAKE THE SAUCE: While the chicken finishes cooking,
return the skillet to medium heat and add the wine. Be
careful since the oil in the pan will sputter a little
when you add the wine. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the
wine is reduced by about half.

Add the cream and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until
the sauce coats the back of a spoon.

Stir in the mustard, capers and parsley, reserving a
little parsley for sprinkling over top. Taste and add
more salt and pepper, if you like.

NOTES: The original recipe from Sally Vargas called for
using chicken breast. As you know, if you've been
reading my stuff for any length of time, I do not care
for battery chicken white meat. So, I subbed thighs -
which I stock in quantity. For the wine I used a split
of Ernie and Julie's finest drugstore (Walgreen's)
white - I think it said "Pinot Grigio". For the "heavy"
cream - think whipping cream. Worked well.

Oh, and if you have company over refrain from licking
the plate. If you are by yourself ... feel free.
