CHICKEN BREASTS IN DIJON CREAM
From Winemaker Joy Andersen's Kitchen


INGREDIENTS:
4 large chicken breasts, boned and skinned
4 tsp. garlic, minced
Salt
4 Tbsp. Chardonnay or Semillon / Chardonnay
1 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
2 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
1/2 to 1 cup cream

 


DIRECTIONS:
Rub each chicken breast with 1 tsp. garlic and sprinkle each generously with salt. Place each breast in a separate sandwich size ziplock baggie and add 1 Tbsp. of wine to each. Secure ziplock and place each bag in a steamer (I use a 4-quart pot with a vegetable steamer in the bottom and water to the top of legs on steamer). Take care not to overlap or stack. Steam breasts for 15-20 minutes. Remove bagged breasts carefully from the steamer and allow to cool slightly.

In small saucepan melt 1 Tbsp. butter and stir in 2 Tbsp. flour. Open bagged breasts carefully as not to loose any of the juice inside each bag. Remove each breast from the bag and then transfer juice from the bags to the butter/flour mixture in saucepan. Stir in 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard and enough cream to make a medium consistency sauce. Place chicken breasts on serving plate and spoon Dijon cream over top of each breast.
