Cuisine: Main Dish, Chicken
Serves: 3 to 4
Ingredients
  • 3 chicken breasts, partially frozen to make slicing easy
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces fresh sugar snap peas
  • 6 cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • ⅓ cup onion, chopped
  • 1 to 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons flour, for sauce
  • ¼ cup flour, just enough to coat chicken
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons chives or sliced green onions
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Assemble all ingredients, so you have everything there and ready.
  2. With chicken breasts partially frozen, slice lengthwise (butterfly) into 2 or 3 thin cutlets each.
  3. Clip ends off sugar snap peas and halve.
  4. Stir together chicken broth and 2 tablespoons flour.
  5. Blend in dijon mustard, salt and pepper.
  6. Heat oil to a medium temperature in a large skillet.
  7. Coat each cutlet with flour.
  8. Saute the cutlets for 2 minutes on each side. If still partially frozen, you might need one more minute. Don't overcook!
  9. Remove cutlets from pan and set aside.

  11. Bring to a boil, then simmer on a lower temp for 3 minutes, stirring often.
