Chicken With Mustard Sauce

Chicken With Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce

Diana Rattray
Use a countertop grill or grill pan on the stovetop to make this flavorful chicken recipe, or cook the chicken under the broiler or on an outdoor grill. Dijon mustard and apple juice add flavor to the marinade and cream is added before serving to make a fabulous sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf tarragon
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Dash ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Preparation:

Wash chicken and pat dry. Put the chicken between sheets or plastic and pound gently to a uniform thickness, about 1/3 to 1/2-inch thick. In a bowl, combine the mustard, juice, tarragon, onion powder, salt, parsley, brown sugar, and pepper. Put chicken into a shallow dish or food storage bag and add the mustard mixture. Turn the bag and gently massage the marinade into the chicken; seal bag and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

Remove chicken from the marinade and pour the excess marinade into a saucepan. Grill the chicken for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side in a pan grill over medium-high heat or for about 8 to 10 minutes in a full stove top grill, or until the chicken is cooked through. Meanwhile, add the cream to the mustard mixture in the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute.

Serve the grilled chicken with a few tablespoons of the creamy mustard sauce. Serves 4.
