Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Herbs de Provence
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup cream

Instructions
 

  • Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you are left with 4 thinner chicken breasts.
  • Combine the Herbs de Provence, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of each piece of chicken.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and slightly bubbly.
  • Add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temperature registers 160ºF on an instant read thermometer.
  • Place cooked chicken on a plate and cover with foil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, and without cleaning the pan, add the white wine. Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan and let simmer until reduced, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and cream. Stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan, along with any accumulated juices.
  • Baste the chicken in the sauce and remove from heat. Serve.

Notes

Scaling Recipe: This recipe doubles or triples easily for entertaining, though you may need to use a larger skillet or cook the chicken in batches. Keep the first batch warm in a low oven while cooking the remaining pieces and making the sauce.
Wine Pairing: The same white wine you use for cooking makes an excellent pairing for serving with this dish. 
Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
