Vennetto's Rosemary Chicken With Dijon Cream Sauce for 2 image

I have a surplus of rosemary growing in the herb garden and today I actively went about searching for a rosemary chicken recipe. Initially I wanted a simple baked chicken but as happens often on the internet, I became sidetracked. This reminds me of a creamy, tangy version of veal piccata. Adapted from thatsmyhome.com. Please use only *fresh* rosemary in this recipe!

Time 1h

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 (8 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
salt and pepper, to taste
1 sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • MARINADE: Mix marinade together and add to the chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Marinate chicken breasts at least 2 hours or overnight in glass container or plastic "Ziploc" bag.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter over medium high heat and sauté chicken breasts, turning several times until browned on each side. Do not overcook.
  • Set aside on a serving dish and prepare the cream sauce.
  • SAUCE: Over medium high heat in the same pan you used to cook the chicken, add white wine, chicken broth, capers, and cream.
  • Use a spatula to scrape up the fond (brown bits) as you heat the mixture, reducing until thickened. DO NOT boil or the cream will curdle. If necessary, reduce heat.
  • Whisk in Dijon mustard until sauce is smooth; returning chicken breasts to sauce to reheat. Arrange chicken breasts on platter and spoon sauce over.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Garnish chicken with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
  • Prep does not include marinating.
