CHICKEN DIJONNAISE
Chicken thighs generally taste juicier and more flavourful than breast meat, but feel free to try it with breasts if you prefer. To remove the skin from chicken thighs, grasp one corner with a piece of paper towel and give it a good tug. From food and drink. Hope you enjoy!

GRILLED CHICKEN DIJONNAISE
Categories Chicken
Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- 1) In a shallow dish, combine oil, lemon juice, and pepper. Add chicken and turn to coat with marinade. Marinate, turning occasionally, for 30 minutes. 2) Meanwhile, combine vinegar, wine, and tarragon in a small non-aluminium saucepan; boil until reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Reduce heat to low, add butter and mustard, and stir until butter melts. Set sauce aside, keep warm. 3) Drain chicken well. Grill or broil over medium heat, turning once, and baste frequently with mustard sauce, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes a side. Be careful not to overcook chicken.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality chicken breasts: Look for chicken breasts that are plump, firm, and have a slightly pink color. Avoid chicken breasts that are thin, dry, or have a yellow or green tint.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Season the chicken breasts liberally: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the chicken breasts. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as paprika, thyme, or rosemary.
- Sear the chicken breasts in a hot skillet: This will create a nice golden crust and help to seal in the juices. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the Dijon sauce: While the chicken breasts are cooking, make the Dijon sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, sour cream, white wine, and chopped parsley. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the chicken breasts with the Dijon sauce: Once the chicken breasts are cooked through, transfer them to a serving platter and spoon the Dijon sauce over them. Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Chicken Dijonnaise is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of tender chicken, creamy Dijon sauce, and crispy shallots is simply irresistible. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make Chicken Dijonnaise that is sure to impress your family and friends.
