Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken: Start by pounding the chicken breasts between two sheets of waxed paper to make them thin and even. This ensures the chicken cooks quickly and evenly. Once done, season the chicken generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
Cook the Chicken: Preheat your broiler. Broil the seasoned chicken breasts for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and golden brown. Set the cooked chicken aside and cover it loosely to keep warm.
-
Make the Sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, sprinkle the flour over it and stir constantly for about 1-2 minutes. This will create a roux that will thicken the sauce.
-
Add the Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to ensure the mixture becomes smooth and thickens. If it feels too thick, add a bit more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a creamy consistency.
-
Add the Wine: Remove the skillet from the heat, and slowly pour in the white wine. Return the pan to low heat and allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes, letting the wine reduce slightly and the flavors meld.
-
Finish the Sauce: Stir in the Dijon mustard, adding salt and pepper to taste. This will give the sauce a tangy, savory depth that complements the chicken perfectly.
-
Assemble the Dish: To serve, plate each chicken breast on a bed of sautéed spinach and mushrooms. Pour the creamy sauce over the top and garnish with diced tomatoes for a fresh, colorful finish.
-
Serve and Enjoy: This dish pairs beautifully with a light salad or your favorite side of vegetables. The creamy sauce and tender chicken will leave a lasting impression on anyone who tastes it.
