VELVET CHICKEN BREAST WITH MUSTARD SAUCE



Velvet Chicken Breast With Mustard Sauce image

Cooking chicken breasts can be tricky, especially the "skinless-boneless" kind. No matter if they are pan-fried or grilled, they are apt to be dry if left to cook even a minute too long. This recipe borrows a Chinese technique called velveting that guarantees a moist chicken breast. A simple marinade made with egg white and cornstarch is the solution. Usually the chicken is cut into strips or cubes, but small chicken breasts or cutlets can be prepared the same way for Western-style dishes. Here, an assertive mustard sauce pairs nicely with the tender meat. Serve with boiled potatoes and crisp watercress, or stir-fried spinach.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 small skinless-boneless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
Salt and pepper
2 egg whites (about 4 tablespoons)
4 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried mustard
1 tablespoon grated horseradish
1/2 cup crème fraîche
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon roughly chopped thyme leaves
2 tablespoons snipped chives

Steps:

  • Trim chicken breasts to a uniform size, shape and thickness; they should be about 1/2 inch thick. (If using larger breasts, slice them into 1/2-inch-thick cutlets.) Season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Velvet the chicken: In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy, then whisk in cornstarch until lump-free. Add chicken breasts and coat well with cornstarch mixture, then cover and marinate for 30 minutes. (Chicken may also be marinated several hours ahead and refrigerated.)
  • Meanwhile in a small mixing bowl, stir together Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, dried mustard, horseradish and crème fraîche. Set aside.
  • Put butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lay chicken breasts in the pan and sauté very lightly for 30 seconds a side without browning. Remove breasts and blot on paper towels. Discard remaining oil and wipe pan.
  • Return skillet to stove and add mustard and crème fraîche mixture and chicken broth. Whisk together to make a thin sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Add breasts and simmer for 1 minute, then turn breasts over, cover pan and simmer for 2 minutes. Turn off heat and leave covered for 1 or 2 minutes more, until meat is firm to the touch.
  • Transfer breasts to a warm platter. Bring sauce to a boil, add chopped thyme and reduce until slightly thickened. Spoon sauce over breasts, sprinkle with chives and serve.

Provided by Michael Lomonaco

Categories     Chicken     Herb     Mustard     Poultry     Sauté     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dinner     Chive     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Four 8-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts, slightly pounded, and flattened
Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons chopped shallots
1/2 cup brandy, apple brandy, pear brandy, or Kentucky bourbon
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups homemade chicken stock, or store-bought low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives

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.

1 pinch salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

CHICKEN IN MUSTARD SAUCE



Chicken in Mustard Sauce image

This healthy yet elegant weeknight chicken dish came to The Times in 1988, courtesy of Jacques Pépin. It's simple but loaded with flavor, and you can throw it together in about a half hour. Just sauté the chicken until golden, then make a quick sauce from onions, water and mustard and reduce until thick. Serve with rice to soak up the sauce, and a crisp green salad. If white meat is not your thing, it would be equally delicious made with boneless chicken thighs (just be sure to add a few minutes of cooking time).

Provided by Jacques Pépin

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 5-ounce chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the meat with the salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it is hot, brown the chicken for one-and-a-half minutes on each side.
  • Mix in the onion and continue cooking for one minute.
  • Sprinkle the flour on the chicken pieces, turning them so that all the pieces are coated. Cook one minute to lightly brown the flour.
  • Add the water and stir to dissolve the flour until the mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat, cover the skillet and boil gently for five minutes.
  • Remove the meat to a serving platter and keep warm.
  • Cook the sauce to reduce it to about one-and-a-half cups. Mix the dry mustard with the Dijon mustard and stir until smooth. Stir the mustard mixture into the sauce and heat, but do not allow the sauce to boil after the mustard has been added.
  • Place the chicken pieces in the sauce and warm over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes to develop the flavor.
  • Serve the chicken with the sauce.

Tips:

  • Brining the chicken breasts in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar for at least 30 minutes before cooking helps to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness helps them to cook evenly.
  • Use a combination of olive oil and butter to cook the chicken breasts. This helps to prevent them from sticking to the pan and adds flavor.
  • Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until they are cooked through. This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Make sure the mustard-caper sauce is hot before serving. This will help to melt the butter and create a smooth, creamy sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken breasts with mustard-caper sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is both delicious and healthy. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to please the whole family.
