Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 4 - large boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1/2 teaspoons - salt
- 1/4 teaspoons - black pepper or more, to taste
- 2 tablespoons - olive oil or salad oil
- 2 tablespoons - butter or margarine
- 3 tablespoons - chopped fresh chives or green onions
- - juice of 1/2 lime or lemon
- 2 tablespoons - brandy or cognac optional
- 3 tablespoons - chopped parsley
- 2 teaspoons - Dijon-style mustard
- 1/4 cups - chicken broth
Directions:
Tip: You can pound chicken breasts flat and leave flattened between sheets of plastic wrap; wrap them airtight in one package and freeze for later use.
Place chicken breast halves between sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Pound slightly with mallet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon each of oil and butter in large skillet. Cook chicken over high heat for 4 minutes on each side. Do not cook longer or they will be overcooked and dry. Transfer to a warm serving platter.
Add chives or green onion, lime juice and brandy, if using, parsley and mustard to pan. Cook for 15 seconds, whisking constantly. Whisk in broth. Stir until sauce is smooth. Whisk in remaining butter and oil.
Pour sauce over chicken. Serve immediately.
