DIRECTIONS
In a large skillet, brown chicken in butter/margarine for about 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from skillet and place on a warm oven-proof platter.
Preheat oven to 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).
Stir flour into skillet drippings. Add broth and deglaze skillet by stirring vigorously until flour is somewhat dissolved and liquid has the consistency of a sauce. Add cream. Simmer, stirring, over moderate heat for about 10 minutes until sauce is a little thick. Stir in mustard and heat through.
Pour mustard sauce over chicken breasts. Put platter in warm preheated oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, then serve!

I'm sure this is a great recipe alone, but I used it as a base to recreate one of my favorite restaurants dishes. I seasoned the chicken with lemon-pepper seasoning & then followed the rest of the sauce prep. I then placed the chicken on a bed of cooked spinach, topped with the sauce & provolone cheese. Then I baked it for a few minutes to melt the cheese. To die for!

Although there was no reason for the chicken to be placed on a warmed plate, or in the oven afterward, this recipe was wonderful! Once the chicken was sauteed, I merely set it aside and made the sauce. Once the sauce was done, I put the chicken back into the sauce pan and let it simmer. I did, of course add, onion and garlic powders along with black pepper and fresh rosemary. Great Janet and thanks so much for a fantastic recipe that my family loved!

I marinated the chicken in mustard and balsamic vinegar overnight. A very good meal.

As written, this recipe is worthy of two stars, as there is not much flavor going on here. The recipe noticeably is absent of any seasonings, including salt and pepper. With my modifications, however, I'd call this 4 stars--much better. I dredged the chicken in flour seasoned with Montreal Chicken Seasoning before browning, but added no flour to the sauce as I knew it wouldn't be necessary. After removing the chicken from the pan, I sauteed shallots and minced garlic before adding the broth, half and half, some white wine, and the Dijon. As the sauce reduced I added some chopped, fresh tarragon for added dimension and flavor which really worked nicely. I admit the end result was probably a different dish, albeit a better one.

I added a little salt and pepper to the chicken while sauteing and added an extra 1/2 T of dijon mustard to the sauce. I also didn't see the point of heating the chicken in the oven after adding the sauce so I just served it. It was pretty good.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Tasted like something you'd get at a fancy restaurant, and the preparation was easy. Very good served over rice with peas and mushrooms, or try with mashed potatoes.

This dish was wonderful and easy. Cooking the chicken breasts is the longest part of the process, but you want it cooked thoroughly! The butter, as opposed to margarine, makes for a much richer sauce, as does using heavy cream. I served it with broccoli and wild rice - yum!

My family really liked this recipe. I doubled the sauce and served it over egg noodles. It made just the right amount. I ran out of half and half and had to use a little milk and it still turned out good. I did not put it in the oven, I just combined everything in the skillet at the end and let it simmer

That was absolutely fantastic! :) I've just finished eating, and ran to the computer immediately. ;) The only things I changed were: I sliced the chicken to increase the cooking time, and didn't put it in the oven - instead I added the chicken pieces back to the sauce once it was ready and reheated. I also used taragon mustard as I didn't have dijon handy. Absolutely excellent recipe. :)
