Instructions
Horizontally slice each chicken breast right through the centre to create 4 even-sized breasts. Combine the seasoning mix in a small pot or bowl, then evenly sprinkle over both sides of each breast.
Place a large pan over medium-high heat and stir in the butter and oil. Add the chicken and fry for a few minutes on each side, or until lightly charred on the outside and piping hot/white through the centre. Remove and place on a plate to one side then lower the heat to medium.

a) Consistency - The sauce will thicken fairly quickly, but as mentioned, just stir in a splash of stock or water to thin it out if you need to. Don't very rapidly simmer the sauce as it can split.
b) Seasoning - The seasoning on the chicken and the stock offer a great depth of flavour. I find the sauce perfectly seasoned already, so don't add any more salt, but you can if you feel it needs it. If on the other hand you're wary of salt, just use low-salt stock.
c) Dijon - This cuts through the richness of the sauce. Although it may be more prominent when initially added, as it blends into the sauce it becomes so mellow you'll barely notice it.
d) Garnish - Don't skip the chives! They add a final pop of colour and pair beautifully with the sauce (cream cheese + chives = heaven). I also like finishing with some more black pepper for a final hit of 'spice' to balance out the richness.
e) Serving - Here I've served with Potato Wedges and Broccolini, but you can add any Sides you fancy!
f) Calories - Just the chicken and sauce (no sides) divided by 4.

Wow, this was sooooo easy & very tasty & my husband loved his surprise meal when he arrived home from work earlier.
I love the fact you not only have a list of ingredients & the recipe, you also have photos of different stages of the process, a video, plus added tips in your notes. For a perfectionist like me, I couldn't ask for any more...... Well you could come in person to show me all your recipes!
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Excellent! Easy, tasty and quick recipe. Would also be great with pork chops.
Mushrooms would also be good.
It was easy and delicious! We served it over noodles
Another absolute cracker of a dish.
Had 2 chicken breasts to feed 3 and wasn't sure what to do this time. Thought I would give this a quick go for our weeknight dinner.
Start to finish only took about half an hour to make and it tasted wonderful - Wife and child both loved it.
Definitely bookmarked and will be making again
Thanks again Chris
