Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 large shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 14 ounces reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup fresh chives, chopped (about 1 bunch)

Directions

  1. Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until flattened to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.

  2. Season both sides of the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  3. Place 1/4 cup flour in a shallow glass baking dish and dredge the chicken in it.

  4. Discard the excess flour.

  5. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  6. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

  7. Transfer to a plate, cover and keep warm.

  8. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat.

  9. Add shallots and cook, stirring constantly and scraping up any browned bits, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

  10. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour; stir to coat.

  11. Add wine, broth and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil, stirring often.

  12. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until heated through and no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes. Stir in sour cream and mustard until smooth.
