Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
3 Tbs
salted butter (or 2 Tbs butter plus 1 Tbs olive oil)
1 tsp. sea
salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup finely chopped onions
2
Tbs flour
2 cups water
2 Tbs Dijon Mustard (Maille Traditional
Dijon Mustard is superb)
Heat butter (and oil) in a large
sauté pan on a medium high heat. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper.
When butter is hot add chicken and just brown on both sides. Mix in
onion. Sprinkle flour on chicken pieces turning
so that both sides are coated. Cook for 1 minute to lightly brown flour.
Add water and stir to dissolve flour until mixture comes to a boil.
Lower heat, cover the skillet and boil gently for 20 minutes. Remove
meat to a serving platter.
Reduce sauce to about 1 ½ cups and mix
in mustard. Do not allow sauce to boil after you have added the mustard.
Place chicken back into sauce and keep on a very low heat for 10
minutes. Serve over rice or buttered noodles. Serves 4.
