Lemon (Orange) Mustard Chicken

Tender chicken in a creamy sauce made with lemon jelly and two kinds of mustard. Try marmalade for a totally different flavor profile.

Ingredients:

• 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tsp grainy mustard
• 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 Tbsp margarine
• 1/8 red pepper
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 3 Tbsp lemon jelly, orange marmalade, fresh scallions or chives for garnish
• 2/3 cup whole milk
• Zest of 1 orange

Directions:

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Mix milk, mustard, marmalade, orange zest and red pepper and set aside. Mix the margarine and olive oil in a pan and add chicken; saute until a light golden color on each side. Remove chicken and add milk mixture to pan; reduce until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the chicken back to the pan and cook another 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat place to a serving platter and garnish with fresh chives or scallions.

Number of Servings: 6

Notes from the Cook: This dish can have either a lemon flavor or orange depending on whether you choose the lemon jelly or marmalade.
