How to Make Chicken Moutarde

  1. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard. Dredge chicken pieces (about 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs) in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion and 4 ounces chopped bacon over medium heat until the bacon is crispy and the onion is softened. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Brown the chicken pieces in the same pan over medium-high heat until golden brown on all sides. Return the cooked onion and bacon to the pan. Pour in 1 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc).
  4. Add 1 teaspoon dried thyme and 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pan and cook for 75-90 minutes, or until the chicken is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  5. Carefully remove the chicken, bacon, and onions from the pan and place them in a warm oven to keep them from cooling. Discard the herbs.
  6. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the pan juices to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour mixture until smooth. Gradually whisk the cream mixture into the boiling pan juices. Reduce heat to low and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, without boiling, to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  8. Pour the sauce over the chicken, bacon, and onions. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley before serving.
