How to Make Chicken Breasts With Red Wine Mustard Sauce

Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Reduce heat to medium.
**Sauce 1 (Classic Red Wine Mustard):** In the same skillet, add 1/4 cup red wine, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon butter, and a pinch of thyme. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
**Sauce 2 (Creamy Mushroom):** In a separate saucepan, sauté 1 cup sliced mushrooms in 1 tablespoon butter until tender. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened.
**Sauce 3 (Lemon Herb):** Whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as oregano and thyme), and salt and pepper to taste.
**Sauce 4 (Spicy Chipotle):** Combine 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Blend until smooth.
**Sauce 5 (Garlic Parmesan):** Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Pour your chosen sauce over the cooked chicken breasts and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
