DIJON CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Pound chicken to 1-inch thick and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet and cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until browned and the chicken reaches 165°F. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside lightly covering with foil.
• Add butter and garlic to the pan. Cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

• Whisk in remaining ingredients and simmer for 2-4 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• Add chicken back to the pan along with any juices and cook just until heated through, about 2 minutes.

CREAMY DIJON CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BACON AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Season chicken with seasoning salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until crispy and cooked through (about 8 minutes each side, depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate; set aside.

• Add in the white wine to deglaze the pan while scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan; simmer for 3-4 minutes or until wine has reduced by half.
• Pour in cream and Dijon, mix through and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook gently for a further minute to allow the sauce to thicken.
• Add the Parmesan and allow to melt through the sauce. Season with bullion powder and pepper, to taste.
• Add the spinach and allow to wilt. Return chicken to the skillet. Top with the crispy bacon. Sprinkle with extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
