Mix about a cup of flour with some black pepper, thyme, and marjoram.
About a tsp of each.
Dredge boneless chicken breasts in the flour and then brown in butter
in
a skillet.
Remove the chicken, add about a 1/4 cup of vermouth and cook down to
a
glaze. Add a couple tablespoons of dijon mustard (I like LOTS),
stir,
add about a half cup of heavy cream, and simmer.
Add approx 1/4 cup of chicken broth, mixed with some of the leftover
flour mixture and pour in the sauce to thicken. Add a tablespoon
or so
of lemon juice. Add the chicken breasts and simmer until hot.
Delicious.
Variations:
-----------
1) Cut up the chicken breasts into small strips before dredging in
the
flour. It really tastes better this way, I think.
2) Add sliced fresh mushrooms to the sauce, letting them cook up a bit
with the sauce.
3) Add artichoke hearts to the sauce, just before adding back the
chicken.
