Steps:
- Make the sauce:
- In a heavy saucepan, cook the butter and the flour over moderately low heat, whisking, for 3 minutes, whisk in the stock, and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the mushrooms, the garlic, and the bouquet garni and simmer the mixture, skimming the froth, for 25 minutes. Strain the mixture through a sieve into another heavy saucepan, stir in the ham, the sage, and the cream, and simmer the sauce until it is reduced to 3 cups. Add the pepper and salt to taste and keep the sauce warm, covered.
- To assemble:
- Preheat the oven to 200ºF. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderately hight heat until the foam subsides. White the fat is heating, pat 4 of the chicken breast halves dry, season one side of each breast with the pepper and salt to taste and, in the fat, brown the 4 breasts, seasoned sides down, for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to moderately low and cook the chicken for 3 minutes more on each side, or until it is cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a baking pan and keep it warm in the oven. Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels and cook the remaining chicken breasts, patted dry and seasoned, in the remaining oil and butter in 2 batches in the same manner. Serve the chicken with the sauce and grits.

VELVET CHICKEN BREAST WITH MUSTARD SAUCE
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.

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.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Season your chicken generously: Don't be afraid to use a lot of salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor of the chicken.
- Sear the chicken until it is golden brown: This will help to create a crispy crust and lock in the juices.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Add the mustard and sage towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the mustard from burning and the sage from becoming bitter.
- Serve the chicken immediately: This is when it will be at its best.
Conclusion:
This sautéed chicken breast with whole grain mustard and sage is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The chicken is juicy and tender, the mustard adds a tangy kick, and the sage adds a warm, earthy flavor. This dish is sure to please the whole family.
