How To Make Dijon Chicken

While Dijon Sauce is normally made with heavy cream or half & half, my version of it is with light sour cream and a nice helping of Worcestershire sauce. I love the robust, sweet and sourflavor that it adds to the sauce.

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
• Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until they start to soften.
• Meanwhile, mix Worcestershire Sauce, sour cream, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth.
• Spoon the Dijon sauce over the chicken and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
• Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the chicken and mushrooms to a serving plate, and garnish with chives.

Serving Suggestions

Dijon Chicken pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. It goes well with garlic parmesan roasted vegetables, mashed sweet potatoes, or even a simple green goddess salad. For a low-carb option, consider serving it with mashed cauliflower.

Storing Leftovers

• Leftover Dijon Chicken should be stored in an airtight container and kept refrigerated for 3 to 4 days.
• While you can freeze this dish, the sour cream in the sauce may separate upon thawing; however, the taste will remain intact. Store it in an airtight container and consume it within 1 to 2 months.
• Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
