Steps:
- Cut the chicken breasts in half horrizontally to make 4 thin pieces.
- In a shallow bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion, powder, sea salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and coat it well.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it's golden on both sides, about 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan then add the mushrooms and let them cook for about 5 minutes, until they're softened. Stir the thyme into the mushrooms then transfer them to the plate with the chicken.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and add the onion. Cook until it is softened, about 3 minutes. Add the champagne to the pan, bring it to a boil, and scrape up any bits that are stuck on the bottom of the pan.
- Add the chicken stock, cream, chicken, and mushrooms to the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the pan to thicken that sauce.

CREAMY CHAMPAGNE CHICKEN
I received this recipe from a trained chef that I worked with in college. I was in the kitchen the night he prepared it for a fancy Valentine's Day banquet for students. The sauce is savory and especially good made with pink champagne. Served with wild rice pilaf and roasted vegetables it is a perfect recipe for special guests or a romantic evening in.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CHAMPAGNE SAUCE AND FRESH CHIVES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Sprinkle lemon juice over chicken breasts. Salt & pepper breasts to taste. Heat large skillet over high heat. When pan is hot, add oil and butter. When butter is melted but not brown, add chicken breasts and cook until well browned on one side (approximately 2-3 minutes). Watch closely to avoid burning. Flip chicken breasts and do the same on other side. When well browned on both sides, remove to cookie sheet. Place chicken in 500 degree, preheated oven and cook 9-10 minutes; remove from oven immediately when done and tent with foil to keep warm if sauce is not yet ready. Immediately after placing chicken in oven and while chicken is cooking, prepare sauce. In the same skillet used to brown the chicken and while pan is still hot, deglaze the pan with the champagne. Reduce over high heat until only a small amount remains (about 1-2 Tbsp). Add shallots and garlic, saute 1 minute. Add chicken stock, and reduce until 2-3 Tbsp of liquid remain. Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic and shallots. Reduce heat to medium, add cream. Simmer until slightly thickened (about 3 minutes). Add mustard, 3 Tbsp chives (reserve remaining Tbsp of chives for serving) and salt & pepper to taste. If chicken is not yet done, turn sauce to lowest heat setting to keep warm. To serve, place a bed of rice (if using) on plate. Top with chicken breast. Spoon a small amount of sauce over the top (just enough to look attractive), and sprinkle with reserved chives. Serve remaining sauce on the side for people to use as desired. Enjoy!
