Champagne Chicken Recipe

Champagne Chicken Recipe

I am always looking for new and easy chicken recipes.  The Champagne Mustard adds a nice zing to this chicken dish.  For a more festive version of this recipe, try using our Cranberry Mustard in place of the Champagne Mustard and wow your guests!

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts, split, boned and skinned (or 8 cutlets)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 5 TBSP. butter
• 2 TBSP. flour
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 3/4 cup light cream
• 3 TBSP.  Cherchies® Champagne Mustard, or Cherchies® Cranberry Mustard

Preparation

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Melt butter in large frying pan and saute chicken 6 to 8 minutes until lightly browned.

Lower heat. Remove chicken. Stir flour into drippings. Slowly add broth, stirring to make a smooth sauce. Slowly add light cream, stirring constantly. Stir in Cherchies® Champagne Mustard and cook until sauce bubbles. Return chicken to pan and spoon sauce over each piece. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Serve over rice.

Serves 8

Best Ever Pork Chops Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 - (3/4 inch) thick Pork Chops (top loin, lean, boneless)
• 1 dash black pepper
• 1/4 cup Cherchies® Champagne Mustard
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/4 tsp. Cherchies® Garlic'n Herbs No Salt Seasoning
• 1/4 tsp. dried basil leaves
• 1/4 tsp. dried oregano leaves
• 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400º F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside. 

Season the pork chops with pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, oil, and remaining spices and brush mixture onto both sides. Press the grated Parmesan cheese into both sides of the chops (I am pretty liberal with the cheese. I like a thick coating but a thin one will work, too.) Place the chops on the baking sheet. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until coating is browned and the chops are cooked. For a slightly crispier texture, broil for one minute.
