Perhaps the best thing about this recipe is how simple the ingredients are. Most people probably have all of the ingredients at home. It’s a recipe that relies on basic items you probably have in your pantry already.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons Butter
2 cloves Garlic, minced
3 tablespoons Flour
1 cup Chicken Stock
1/2 cup Milk
3-4 tablespoons Mustard
1 tablespoon Tarragon
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
8 ounces sliced Mushrooms
3 tablespoons White Wine
1 Yellow Onion, chopped
2 pounds Chicken Breasts
Flour to dredge the chicken
Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Prepare the chicken by cutting each chicken breast in half and then pounding it with a meat mallet until it has a thin and even thickness.
- Then start preparing the sauce. Start by melting the butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in the garlic, and let it cook for one minute and then stir in the flour. Stir for another minute. Then slowly add the chicken stock and milk whisk until the butter/flour mixture is completely incorporated. Then bring to a slow boil. Let boil for 1 minute, stirring frequently. This lets the sauce thicken. Then add in the mustard and tarragon. Go ahead and add extra mustard if you really like mustard. Set the sauce aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and toss in the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute the mushrooms for 4 minutes, and then add the white wine and the onions. Let saute for another 4 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and onions to the sauce.
- In a bowl combine about 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon of both salt and pepper. Using the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, dredge the chicken in the flour and place in the skillet. It will only take a couple minutes to brown on each side. Place the browned chicken in a casserole dish. Continue to brown the chicken in batches, adding more olive oil to the pan as necessary.
- Once all of the chicken has browned, pour the sauce over, and place it in the oven to bake for 45 minutes
