ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
3 teaspoons olive oil
3 cups sliced oyster, shiitake, cremini and/or button mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup white wine, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
1/2 cup water
OR
1 cup chicken broth
2 green onions, thinly sliced
directions
Trim fat from chicken. Heat 2 ts. oil in large non-stick frying pan; set over medium heat. Add chicken; saute until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan.
Add remaining oil and mushrooms. Saute, stirring often, just until mushrooms release their juices, about 4 minutes. Add Dijon, salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, mix flour and 2 Tb. wine or broth in measuring cup; stir with fork until smooth. Stirring constantly, slowly add remaining wine and water to measure 1 cup. Pour over mushrooms; continue cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture bubbles and begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
Return chicken and any juices to pan; reduce heat to low. Simmer until chicken is done and sauce is thickened, about 6 to 8 minutes. Turn breasts halfway through and stir sauce occasionally. If sauce is too thick, add more water, a spoon at a time.
Serve on a bed of rice, sprinkled with green onions.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Not a lot of flavor. Won't be making it again.

The recipe was very easy to make; however, the 1/2 tsp Dijon that it called for did not add any dijon flavor whatsoever. I added about a tablespoon more and it still barely tasted of dijon. I think it needs much more dijon than it called for. I will be trying it again, but adapting to my own "dijon taste". Other than that, it is very tasty and my family enjoyed the recipe.
