Steps:
- 1. Heat the butter in a wide, heavy-bottomed sauté pan until it begins to melt and foam. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the breasts to the pan and brown them on one side, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn them over and cook them until well browned on the other side, about 6 more minutes. The chicken is done when it is firm to the touch and the juices run clear. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- 2. Add the shallots to the same pan and sauté until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Lower the heat, move the pan away from the flame, lean away from it, and carefully pour in the brandy, taking care not to let it flame. (If it does flame, cover with a pot lid until the brandy cooks out.) Continuing to be mindful of potential flare-ups, return the pan to the stove and let the brandy evaporate over low heat.
- 3. Add the wine to the pan, raise the heat to high, and bring it to a boil. Whisk in the mustard and let reduce for 1 minute. Pour in the broth and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- 4. Stir in the cream and bring just to a boil. Stir in the chives. Return the chicken breasts to the pan and simmer gently until the stock has reduced and thickened slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
- 5. To serve, put 1 chicken breast in the center of each of 4 plates and spoon some sauce over the top.
- Your Nightly Specials Instead of chicken, use small beefsteaks or pork loin chops. Cooking time will vary based on thickness and desired doneness, but will be about 2 minutes more per side than the chicken.
- For a spicier sauce, add 1 teaspoon hot, dry, English mustard to the sauce along with the Dijon.
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).

Tips
- To achieve the perfect velvety texture, it's crucial to use a high-quality chicken stock. Homemade stock is ideal, but a store-bought option can suffice if necessary.
- For a richer flavor, opt for dark meat chicken breasts. They have a higher fat content, resulting in a more succulent and flavorful dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken breasts. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may result in them steaming rather than searing.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken breasts are cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for fully cooked chicken.
- Allow the chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a little bit of chicken stock or water to thin it out. Conversely, if the sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few minutes to reduce it.

Velvet chicken breast with mustard sauce is an elegant and delicious dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner.
