DIJON CHICKEN SMOTHERED IN MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. In shallow pan, stir together flour, salt and pepper.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Coat both sides of chicken with flour mixture. Cook chicken in hot oil 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove chicken to serving plate; cover to keep warm.
• Stir broth into skillet. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Stir in mushrooms and mustard. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Spoon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with thyme.

DIJON CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a pan, heat a glug of olive oil. Season the chicken breasts, then fry, skin-side down, until golden. Turn over and sear, then set aside.
• Fry the mushrooms, sliced, in the same pan until golden. Add the garlic and onion then cook until soft. Stir in the mustard and tarragon. Add the white wine and a splash of brandy, then bubble for 2 minutes.
• Add the chicken, skin-side up and simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes stirring now and then. Stir through the cream then garnish with fresh tarragon.

CHICKEN MUSHROOM DIJON

Steps:

• Pour milk into a wide, shallow bowl. Spread flour into a separate wide, shallow bowl. Dip each chicken breast half into milk to coat; move to the dish with the flour and press chicken into flour to coat entirely.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate; drain fat from the skillet and return to medium-high heat.
• Melt butter in the skillet. Saute mushrooms in hot butter until softened, about 2 minutes. Pour white wine over the mushrooms. Stir gravy, half-and-half, and mustard with the mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
• Return chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN & MUSHROOMS WITH CREAMY DIJON SAUCE

Steps:

• Spray skillet with cooking spray. Heat to medium heat.
• Sprinkle chicken with thyme, rosemary (optional), salt, and pepper.
• Place chicken in the preheated skillet and cook 4 minutes on each side, or until chicken is lightly browned.
• Add the chicken stock and sherry. Bring to a boil.
• Cover and reduce heat; simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add mushrooms and cook uncovered until the mushrooms are tender.
• Remove the chicken and mushrooms from the pan; keep warm.
• Add the half and half and mustard to the skillet. Whisk together to blend. Cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. If desired, thicken sauce with cornstarch -- be careful -- it is easy to get it too thick.
• Return the mushrooms to the skillet, and serve the sauce and mushrooms over the chicken.

SLOW-COOKER DIJON CHICKEN WITH BARLEY AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the barley, mushrooms, chicken, chicken broth, lemon juice, white wine, garlic, thyme, salt, onion powder, red-pepper flakes and several generous grinds of black pepper. Stir to combine, then cook for 3 hours on high.
• At first it will seem like there is too much liquid, but the dish will thicken as it cools, and as you stir. Stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through, about 2 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together the crème fraîche and mustard, then fold it into the barley mixture. The chicken thighs should be falling apart; break them into coarse chunks with a spatula. Taste and add more mustard for a stronger flavor, if desired. Stir in the chopped tarragon and serve. Pass Parmesan at the table for topping.
