Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces frozen and thawed or fresh cranberries
1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar, depending on preference
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard

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.

CHICKEN WITH CRANBERRY-MUSTARD SAUCE



Chicken with Cranberry-Mustard Sauce image

Provided by Doris Murphy

Categories     Chicken     Mustard     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Cranberry     Fall     Simmer     Bon Appétit     Florida

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
3/4 cup frozen concentrated cranberry juice cocktail, thawed
1/4 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer chicken to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to same skillet and melt. Whisk in flour and mustard; cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in broth, juice concentrate, and cranberries. Bring to boil, whisking occasionally. Boil until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 6 minutes. Return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter, tarter flavor than frozen cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can substitute frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The cranberry mustard sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken. If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This chicken dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.

Conclusion:

This chicken with cranberry mustard sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the cranberry mustard sauce is a tangy and sweet complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
