PAUL PRUDHOMME'S CHICKEN DIANE
This was one of my FAVORITE chicken dishes growing up. We didn't have it too often, (for health reasons :) but when we did I knew it was going to be a good night! If you can't find Paul Prudhomme's "Magic Cajun Spice" you can substitute his "Magic Poultry" or even "Magic for Veal or Pork", but the Cajun seasoning gives it a good kick! Also, we much more prefer boneless skinless thighs. In our family's opinion this dish is just not as flavorful with breast meat, but I left the recipe as it was written by Paul Prudhomme.

I have been making this for over 10 years and is the most requested recipe I have! This is everyone's favorite chicken dish I make! It's a nice change from "ordinary" chicken! Goes well with steamed broccoli. (Note: This is a "Diane" recipe, therefore has a mustard taste to it!!)

Steps:
- Since each pounded, flattened chicken should have a large circumference, it will be necessary to cook the four breasts one at a time, setting each aside on a warm platter as you finish those that remain or use two pans to cook two simultaneously.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the hot pan and heat the butter until it begins to foam. Add the first
- breast and sear, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes on a side before turning it over and allowing another 4 minutes on the second side. Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a warm platter. Repeat for the remaining chicken breasts, adding butter to the pan and sauteeing both sides. After all the chicken has been cooked and removed from the pan, add the shallots and cook two minutes until translucent. Lower the heat, move the pan away, and cautiously add the brandy. Being careful not to flame the brandy, return the pan to the stove, and over low heat, allow it to cook off. Add the white wine to the pan, raise the heat, and bring quickly to the boil. Stir in the mustard. Allow this to cook for 1 minute before adding the veal stock. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the cream. Bring just to the boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chives.
- Place the ovenproof platter of chicken breasts in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 to 2 minutes to reheat them very quickly before placing them on individual dishes and topping with some of the Diane Sauce. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes.
CHICKEN DIANE WITH CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES
One of my husband's favorite dishes is steak Diane but I'm not a big red meat eater. So, I came up with this chicken version made with a sauce that has the same flavors as the original. I serve it alongside "crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside" roasted potatoes that cook in the time it takes to make the chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the ghee and toss to coat. Liberally sprinkle with flaky sea salt then arrange all the potatoes cut-side down. Roast in the oven until golden brown, crispy and easily pierced with a paring knife, 18 to 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes roast, prepare the chicken: Liberally season both sides of the breasts with kosher salt and pepper.
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining ghee followed by the chicken. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this point.) Remove to a shallow bowl or plate.
- Next, add the remaining 1 tablespoon ghee followed by the shallot and garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes, then season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and add the cognac or brandy. Carefully ignite the alcohol with a match and place back on the heat. Cook until the flame subsides, 10 to 15 seconds.
- Add the stock, cream, Dijon and Worcestershire sauce. Stir together and taste for seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed. Add the chicken breasts and simmer until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- To serve, divide the potatoes between 2 shallow bowls or plates followed by the mushroom sauce and chicken. Sprinkle with the chives, parsley and more pepper.

Steps:
- Place the chicken breast halves between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet (or rolling pin). You can simply tenderize them, or pound to 1/4 inch thickness, depending on your taste preferences. (Note: the thinner the chicken, the faster it will cook. Keep an eye on your chicken to avoid overcooking it.).
- Combine flour, salt and pepper and dredge chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
- Heat 1 Tbs butter in a frying pan over a med heat. Saute the chicken breasts in two batches, for about 2-3 minutes each side, (longer if thicker than 1/4 inch), or until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer to platter and keep warm in a 200 degree oven.
- Add oil, chives, green onion and garlic to pan. Saute for 1-2 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, cream, tarragon, lime juice, brandy (if using), and parsley to pan and raise the heat to med-high and cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 4-5 minutes. Add juices that may have collected around the chicken; stir in the mustard.
- Pour sauce over the chicken and serve.
BONNIE'S AWESOME CHICKEN DIANE
I have made Steak Diane for almost 40 years and my recipe is posted on Justapinch. I make it for special dinners. It is always a hit. It takes a steak dinner right over the top. I was reading the comments on the recipe, and someone asked me if I had ever made a Chicken Diane. I got to thinking about that. Why not give it a...

Steps:
- 1. I served this dish with a couple of cups of steamed rice that was seasoned with 2 teaspoons of chicken soup base and cooked in the rice cooker. I started the rice first because it takes longer cook than the chicken.
- 2. If you get your ingredients together for the sauce, and set them aside, then get the chicken cooking, steam your broccoli and get your rice cooker going with the rice, then it only takes about 7 minutes to make the sauce. You want to have everything done before you put the sauce ingredients in the skillet. Then it all comes together like magic. :) This really is a very easy recipe if you prep first.
- 3. COOK THE CHICKEN Trim the fat and remove skin from the chicken. Boneless thighs works in this recipe, but you could use bone in if you have them. I did.
- 4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of skinless thighs with kosher salt and coarse black pepper and place the chicken in a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil.
- 5. Fry seasoned thighs until golden brown on one side.
- 6. Turn the thighs, and then cover with a glass lid over the chicken. Once the underside browns, turn the heat to very low and keep the lid on.
- 7. MAKE THE SAUCE Melt 6 tablespoons butter in the medium skillet over lowest heat.
- 8. Saute the mushrooms, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt and parsley in the 6 tablespoons of butter in the medium skillet. Saute 7 to 10 minutes. It will thicken slightly on its own.
- 9. SERVE IMMEDIATELY! Ladle rice on the plate, place a chicken thigh on top, and spoon sauce over the cooked chicken. I served the chicken with broccoli and sliced tomatoes on the side. Here is how it looks! Enjoy!

Discover the art of crafting an exquisite Chicken Diane dish with these expert tips and a comprehensive conclusion.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. Mise en place, or "putting in place," will streamline your cooking process and prevent any scrambling.
- Tenderize Your Chicken: To achieve tender and succulent chicken, consider using a meat mallet or tenderizing it with a marinade. This will help break down the muscle fibers, resulting in a more flavorful and enjoyable dish.
- Brown Your Chicken: Searing the chicken pieces in a hot pan with butter will create a beautiful golden-brown crust and lock in the natural juices. This step is essential for developing rich flavors in your Chicken Diane.
- Enhance the Sauce: The sauce is the heart of Chicken Diane. To elevate its taste, use high-quality ingredients like flavorful mushrooms, aromatic shallots, and a touch of Dijon mustard. Simmer the sauce until it reaches a thick and glossy consistency.
- Control the Heat: Maintain medium heat throughout the cooking process. High heat can quickly burn the chicken and sauce, while low heat may result in undercooked chicken and a bland sauce.
- Check Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning accordingly. A balance of salt, pepper, and acidity is essential for a harmonious flavor profile.
- Serve with Style: Plate the Chicken Diane elegantly, garnishing it with fresh herbs like parsley or chives. Consider serving it over a bed of steamed rice or mashed potatoes to complete the meal.
Conclusion:
Creating a memorable Chicken Diane dish is a culinary journey that requires attention to detail, patience, and a passion for great food. By following these expert tips and understanding the nuances of this classic French recipe, you'll be able to impress your family and friends with a truly exceptional meal.
