Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon butter (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 green onions (scallions)
  • 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
  • 2 cups dry white wine
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels; sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pound the chicken breasts gently with the smooth side of a meat tenderizer to an even thickness.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The temperature of the chicken should be at least 165 F.
  3. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  4. Slice the green onions, separating the white and light green from the darker green tops. Put the tops in a small bowl and set aside. Put the white and light green parts in the skillet and cook until softened, stirring constantly. If necessary, add a small amount of oil or butter to the skillet. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the wine and chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the liquids have reduced by half, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  5. Stir the mustard, remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, and cream into the liquids and return the chicken to the skillet. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Heat through.
