Carolina Smothered Chicken With Creamy Mustard Sauce Food

CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board, skin side up, and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the chicken with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Turn them over and sprinkle them with one more teaspoon of salt.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (11 to 12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan in one layer, skin side down. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes without moving, until the skin is golden brown. (If the skin gets too dark, turn the heat to medium low.) Turn the chicken pieces with tongs, add the onions to the pan, including under the chicken, and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally, until the thighs are cooked to 155 to 160 degrees and the onions are browned. Transfer the chicken (not the onions) to a plate and allow to rest uncovered while you make the sauce. If the onions aren't browned, cook them for another minute.
• Add the wine, creme fraiche, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, and 1 teaspoon salt to the skillet and stir over medium heat for one minute. Return the chicken, skin side up, and the juices to the skillet, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.

ONE-PAN CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter and oil in a strong frying pan and fry the chicken for five minutes on each side until golden. Remove to a warm plate, and add the bacon and onion to the pan. Cook for five minutes or until the onion is soft. Add the mushrooms and thyme, tossing well, then add the wine and bay leaves. Boil for two minutes, then return the chicken to the pan and add the stock. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. If you find it too soupy, simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes. Just before serving, remove the chicken to a warm plate, and whisk the cream and mustard, salt and pepper into the mushrooms over gentle heat. Return the chicken to the pan, scatter with baby spinach and heat through. Dust with paprika and serve.

CREAMY MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Add the olive oil, then cook the chicken about 8 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165º degrees. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.
• In the same skillet, add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until the onions soften and turn translucent. Add the garlic cloves, and cook just 30 seconds.
• Add the white wine, dijon mustard, and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce has reduced by half, will take about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low, then add the heavy cream and butter. Whisk to combine. Add the chicken back to the skillet to warm thru.
• Serve the chicken warm, topped with the creamy dijon mustard sauce and chopped chives. I love this on top of white rice, cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, mashed cauliflower or roasted potatoes.

CHICKEN IN CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the chicken with smashed garlic, salt and 1/2 tbsp pepper. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the chicken on low heat, turning occasionally, with cover on. Cook tenderly on all sides. Do not overcook or brown the chicken.
• Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and gently mix in the milk, the seasoning, remaining pepper and mustard powder. Add to the pan when the chicken is done on all sides. Cover and simmer on low heat until chicken is soft and completely cooked. If it becomes too dry before chicken is completely cooked, add more milk. Once cooked, remove the cover and simmer until desired consistency is reached. Add salt to taste.
• Can be served with bread and/or boiled veggies.

CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• *Amount of cream and broth has slightly decreased; add more as needed.Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so that you have eight smaller, thinner chicken cutlets. Salt and pepper both sides.Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook cutlets on both sides until nice and golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep on a plate. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic to the pan and saute it for a minute, stirring to make sure it won't burn. Next pour in the brandy (or wine if using) being careful if cooking over an open flame. Then just let the booze bubble up and cook until it's reduced by half. Throw in the mustards and stir to combine, then pour in the cream. Stir in chicken broth, adding more if the sauce seems too thick. Taste sauce and adjust whatever you think it needs. Add chicken breasts back to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Allow sauce to cook for another few minutes, shaking the pan if needed to move things around. Serve chicken with a green salad, spooning the sauce over the top. Yum and...yum.
