Steps:
- Dip the chicken in flour until coated, and shake off the excess.
- Put the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat. When the butter is melted, add the chicken and cook until golden on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Add shallot, brandy and wine to the skillet and bring to a boil, stirring to get all the cooked bits off the bottom. Simmer for 2-3 minutes - the liquid will cook down a little.
- Stir in the mustard, and then the cream. Simmer for another 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon a little sauce on each plate, place a chicken breast on top, and spoon more sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped shallots. I like to serve this with slivered steamed carrots and green beans.

Steps:
- Heat the oven: to 350F. Place a baking sheet near the stove, ready for the chicken.
- Finish the chicken in the oven: Transfer the chicken to the baking sheet and place in the oven for 5 minutes (longer if the chicken breasts are thick), or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast registers 165 degrees. If the chicken is done before the sauce, transfer it to a serving platter and tent it loosely with foil to keep warm.

CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- *Amount of cream and broth has slightly decreased; add more as needed.Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so that you have eight smaller, thinner chicken cutlets. Salt and pepper both sides.Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook cutlets on both sides until nice and golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep on a plate. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic to the pan and saute it for a minute, stirring to make sure it won't burn. Next pour in the brandy (or wine if using) being careful if cooking over an open flame. Then just let the booze bubble up and cook until it's reduced by half. Throw in the mustards and stir to combine, then pour in the cream. Stir in chicken broth, adding more if the sauce seems too thick. Taste sauce and adjust whatever you think it needs. Add chicken breasts back to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Allow sauce to cook for another few minutes, shaking the pan if needed to move things around. Serve chicken with a green salad, spooning the sauce over the top. Yum and...yum.

Steps:
- 1. Heat the butter in a wide, heavy-bottomed sauté pan until it begins to melt and foam. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the breasts to the pan and brown them on one side, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn them over and cook them until well browned on the other side, about 6 more minutes. The chicken is done when it is firm to the touch and the juices run clear. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- 2. Add the shallots to the same pan and sauté until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Lower the heat, move the pan away from the flame, lean away from it, and carefully pour in the brandy, taking care not to let it flame. (If it does flame, cover with a pot lid until the brandy cooks out.) Continuing to be mindful of potential flare-ups, return the pan to the stove and let the brandy evaporate over low heat.
- 3. Add the wine to the pan, raise the heat to high, and bring it to a boil. Whisk in the mustard and let reduce for 1 minute. Pour in the broth and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- 4. Stir in the cream and bring just to a boil. Stir in the chives. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and simmer gently until the stock has reduced and thickened slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
- 5. To serve, put 1 chicken breast in the center of each of 4 plates and spoon some sauce over the top.
- Your Nightly Specials Instead of chicken, use small beefsteaks or pork loin chops. Cooking time will vary based on thickness and desired doneness, but will be about 2 minutes more per side than the chicken.
- For a spicier sauce, add 1 teaspoon hot, dry, English mustard to the sauce along with the Dijon.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BRANDIED MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE
I think this was from the Commissary Cookbook but I'm not sure now. This recipe states: The piquant, mustard-tinged sauce is especially good and would be equally at home on sautéed veal, calf's liver, or fish." Time doesn't include clarifying the butter.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200°F.
- Note: to clarify butter: Put the butter in a stainless steel bowl in a 200 degree oven. After 1 hour, skim off the crust on top. Put the bowl in the refrigerator. When the butter has re solidified, turn it out of the bowl. Scrape off and discard the white solid layer of milk solids (this is what burns during frying). Wrap and refrigerate the yellow layer of clarified butter until needed. One pound of butter yields about 14 oz. of clarified butter.
- Mix the flour with the 1 teaspoon each of salt and of pepper.
- Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
- Heat the clarified butter in a skillet and add the chicken and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken and sauté for 3-5 more minutes or until just done.
- Remove from the skillet and keep warm in the oven.
- Discard any butter left in the pan.
- Add the shallots, vermouth, and brandy to the pan; turn the heat to high and reduce the liquid to 3 tablespoons while stirring to scrape up any browned bits.
- Whisk in the mustard. Add the salt, pepper, and cream and cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture is the consistency of a light gravy.
- Transfer the chicken from the oven to dinner plates, mask with the sauce, dust with the parsley and serve at once.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts remain tender and juicy, it's crucial to avoid overcooking them. Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature, and remove the chicken from the pan once it reaches 165°F (74°C).
- For a richer, more flavorful sauce, use high-quality Dijon mustard and brandy. Look for brands that are known for their bold flavors and smooth textures.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry or a roux. Simply mix equal parts cornstarch and water or butter and flour, then whisk it into the simmering sauce until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve the chicken breasts with a side of your favorite vegetables, such as roasted potatoes, steamed broccoli, or a simple green salad. This will add color, texture, and nutritional value to your meal.
