- Season the chicken evenly with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Then dip the seasoned chicken in the flour and shake off the excess. In a large pan, heat butter and olive oil on medium-high flame. Once the oil is hot enough, place the chicken in the pan and fry for about 8-10 minutes until crisp, golden on both sides.
- In a saucepan, heat butter and sauté shallots for about 3-4 minutes or until soft. Add garlic and cook for about a minute. Then add wine to deglaze the pan and scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the liquid reduces to half, this might take about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the Dijon mustard along with chicken broth and herbs. After a boil, reduce the flame to medium and then add cream. Simmer for about 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens. Add the chicken and simmer for another 5 minutes until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with parsley and serve hot with pasta or bread.
Recipe Tip
You can also use chicken broth or chicken broth cubes instead of white wine. If you’re using chicken cubes, then dissolve 1 cube in 1 cup of boiling water to make 1 cup of broth. Adjust the amount of water, depending on the quantity required for broth.
