Healthy Chicken Recipes: Sauteed Chicken with Chive Sauce

Make your summer sizzle with delicious sauteed chicken served with fresh chive sauce.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), trimmed of fat
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided
• 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 2 large shallots, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup chopped chives (about 1 bunch)

Preparation:
Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until flattened to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season both sides of the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place 1/4 cup flour in a shallow glass baking dish and coat the chicken with it. Discard excess flour.

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the oil and cook until golden brown (1 to 2 minutes per side). Transfer to a plate, cover and keep warm.

Heat the remaining teaspoon of oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown (1 to 2 minutes). Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of flour; stir to coat. Add wine, broth and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil, stirring often. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until heated through and no longer pink in the center (about 6 minutes). Stir in sour cream and mustard until smooth; turn the chicken to coat with the sauce. Stir in chives and serve immediately.
