Chicken with
Mustard Cream
3 T. Dijon
mustard
water
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
4 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts, split
salt and pepper
2 ½ cups fine fresh bread crumbs
¼ cup dry
mustard
1 T. white wine vinegar
¼ cup finely chopped shallots
1 bay leaf
½ t. dried thyme
2 cups heavy cream
Combine Dijon
mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and 2 T. water. Stir to
blend, set aside.
Place chicken pieces between layers of waxed paper and
pound lightly with a flat mallet. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper and brush on all sides with the mustard mixture.
Coat well in bread crumbs and pat lightly with the flat
side
of a knife to help the crumbs adhere. Bake covered in 350
oven until done, about 30 minutes.
Combine the dry mustard and 2 T. water, stir until
smooth. Set aside.
Combine ¼ cup water, vinegar, shallots, bay leaf, thyme,
and more pepper to taste in a small saucepan. Cook over
high heat until most of the liquid evaporates. Add the
cream and stir. Cook, stirring often, about 10 minutes.
Add the dry mustard mixture to the cream sauce according
to your tastes. Strain through a sieve and serve with the
hot chicken.
