- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Cook Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over high heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, ensuring they are cooked through but still juicy. Be careful not to overcook, as they may become dry.
- Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a warm serving platter and set aside.
-
Prepare Diane Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add chives, lime juice, brandy, parsley, and Dijon mustard, whisking constantly for about 15 seconds to release their flavors.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
- Continue stirring until the sauce has slightly thickened.
-
Finish and Serve:
- Whisk in the remaining butter and olive oil until fully incorporated into the sauce.
- Pour the Diane sauce generously over the cooked chicken breasts.
- Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Tips:
- Donโt Overcook the Chicken: Be mindful not to overcook the chicken breasts to prevent them from becoming dry. Aim for a golden-brown exterior while ensuring they remain tender and juicy on the inside.
- Adjust Mustard to Taste: If you prefer a stronger or milder mustard flavor, feel free to adjust the amount of Dijon mustard used in the recipe accordingly.
- Serve with Sides: This Chicken Breasts Diane dish pairs wonderfully with steamed broccoli, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete and balanced meal.
