How to Make A Different Chicken Dijonaisse

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Remove onions and garlic from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet. Cook and stir until chicken is opaque and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Do not overcook.
  4. Return the cooked onions and garlic to the skillet. Stir in Dijon mustard and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in sour cream, salt, and pepper.
  6. Add white wine (or sherry, milk, or cream) to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.
  7. Stir in the optional fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or tarragon).
  8. Gently simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Do not boil.
  9. Serve immediately over your favorite noodles, pasta, mashed potatoes, or in puff pastry shells. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
