INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  •  1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness (4 average to good-sized breasts)

  •  1-2 teaspoons poultry seasoning

  •  1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

  •  1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

  •  1/2 cup white wine* or chicken broth, or as necessary

  •  1/4 to1/3 cup Dijon mustard (use more if you want extra sauce)

  •  3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  •  3-4 tablespoons lemon juice

  •  1-2 tablespoons honey, optional and to taste

  •  lemon slices, optional for garnishing

  •  2 teaspoons fresh parsley, optional for garnishing

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.

​

2. Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Again, do not disturb the chicken while it's searing.

​

3. Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.

​

4. Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.

 

5. Add the Dijon mustard, butter, lemon juice, and allow the butter to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted and the sauce has combined.

​

6. Turn the heat off, taste the sauce, and if you want it a bit sweeter, optionally add honey, to taste, and stir to combine.

​

7. Add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the lemon butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.

​

8. Optionally garnish with lemon slices, parsley, and serve immediately.
