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.
CHICKEN IN MUSTARD SAUCE
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).

Steps:
- In a small bowl mix together paprika and curry powder, and sprinkle on both sides of chicken breasts; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Place 2 breasts on large sheet of plastic wrap, cover with more plastic and pound with a mallet until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with remaining breasts. (Chicken may be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 12 hours.)
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add enough canola oil to film the bottom of pan. Working in batches, without crowding, place breasts smooth side down and let cook until golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook for another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven.
- Wipe out skillet and return to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and shallot, and sauté for 30 seconds, swirling pan to coat shallot with butter. Add wine, raise heat to medium-high, and cook until wine is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add stock, bring to boil, and cook until reduced and slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in chopped tarragon, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and any juices that have accumulated on baking sheet. Swirl to melt butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken on a warmed platter, pour sauce over it, and garnish with whole tarragon leaves.

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.

Steps:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add chicken and cook until cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side (work in batches if necessary). Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add shallot and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and broth and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Whisk in mustard and cream and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon sauce over chicken and serve with salad of parsley, sliced shallots, and lemon zest.
Tips:
- To ensure evenly cooked chicken breasts, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness before sautéing.
- For a more flavorful dish, marinate the chicken breasts in the mustard-sage mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have dry white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water. However, the wine will add a more complex flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when sautéing the chicken breasts. Cook them in batches if necessary to avoid steaming them.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
This sautéed chicken breasts with mustard and sage is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The mustard and sage add a delicious savory flavor to the chicken, and the chicken breasts are cooked to perfection. Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
