Mom's Chicken Dijon

This is one of my Mom's best recipes. It has always been a favorite of ours at home and it has become a staple here as well. It is easy to make, easy to keep ingredients in the house and not too bad for you. Plus it tastes great. We like sauce in our family so we double the sauce ingredients.

Chicken in Dijon Sauce

Cut boneless chicken breasts into strips, 1/2 breast per person. Cover lightly with flour. Saute chicken strips in 2 tablespoons olive oil, canola oil works too.

When cooked remove chicken from pan and keep on the side. Pour 1/2 cup of white wine into pan and stir up drippings. Let it boil for a couple of minutes. (we double this)

Put in two teaspoons Dijon mustard, any brand will do, 1/4 teaspoon tarragon and 1 tablespoon butter or margarine. (we double these to). Keep stirring and cook until blended.

Mix and serve with pasta or vegetables. We find that if we put the chicken straight into the sauce, the sauce disappears. When we put sauce over pasta/vegetables first, mix that together and then add the chicken we come up with the best combination.

Yum!
