CHICKEN PAILLARD WITH CHIVE AND MUSTARD SAUCE DIANE

Steps:

• Since each pounded, flattened chicken should have a large circumference, it will be necessary to cook the four breasts one at a time, setting each aside on a warm platter as you finish those that remain or use two pans to cook two simultaneously.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the hot pan and heat the butter until it begins to foam. Add the first
• breast and sear, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes on a side before turning it over and allowing another 4 minutes on the second side. Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a warm platter. Repeat for the remaining chicken breasts, adding butter to the pan and sauteeing both sides. After all the chicken has been cooked and removed from the pan, add the shallots and cook two minutes until translucent. Lower the heat, move the pan away, and cautiously add the brandy. Being careful not to flame the brandy, return the pan to the stove, and over low heat, allow it to cook off. Add the white wine to the pan, raise the heat, and bring quickly to the boil. Stir in the mustard. Allow this to cook for 1 minute before adding the veal stock. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the cream. Bring just to the boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chives.
• Place the ovenproof platter of chicken breasts in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 to 2 minutes to reheat them very quickly before placing them on individual dishes and topping with some of the Diane Sauce. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CHIVE AND MUSTARD SAUCE

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.

SPANISH SPICE RUBBED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH PARSLEY-MINT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to high.

• Brush the chicken with a few teaspoons of oil on both sides. Rub the breasts on the skin side with some of the rub and place on the grill, rub side down. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the breasts over and continue cooking until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter and immediately drizzle with some of the Parsley-Mint Sauce. Let rest 5 minutes. Serve with additional sauce on the side.
• Place the mint, parsley, garlic and serranos in a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Add the honey and mustard and process until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified.

WHOLE SPICE-RUBBED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED GARLIC AND LEMONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Cook the chicken and garlic: Rub the outside of the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt. Use a fine-mesh strainer to sprinkle an even layer of the paprika and mustard over the whole chicken. Transfer to a shallow baking pan or rimmed baking sheet fitted with a roasting rack and roast for 15 minutes. Then lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and loosely cover the top of the chicken with a piece of foil. In a small bowl, toss the garlic with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt. Arrange the garlic around the chicken. Roast until the chicken juices run clear or the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F to 165 degrees F, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
• While the chicken is roasting, cook the lemons: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, 2 teaspoons salt and the lemons with 3 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the cinnamon sticks and fennel seeds. Simmer until the liquid becomes slightly syrupy, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the red wine vinegar and cook over medium heat until the lemons become tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the lemons to sit in the hot liquid for 15 minutes, then remove them with a slotted spoon. On a flat surface, cut each lemon into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Remove the seeds. Set the slices aside in some of the cooking liquid to keep them moist until ready to serve.
• Finish the dish: Arrange the chicken on a serving platter with the garlic around it. Put the baking pan on a burner and simmer any chicken cooking juices over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the drained lemon slices. Return the heat to medium low, taste for seasoning and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to come together. Spoon the sauce and lemons around the chicken and roasted garlic.
