Recipe: Sauteed Chicken Breast with Basil (serves 1)

Main Dishes - Chicken, Poultry
SAUTEED CHICKEN BREAST WITH BASIL

3 ounces boned and skinned chicken breast
Flour
1 to 2 teaspoons butter
3 tablespoons shredded fresh basil
2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet onion (about 1/2 onion)
1/2 to 3/4 cup chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon mustard with mustard seeds (optional)

Cut chicken breast into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Dip in flour and shake to remove excess.

Heat 1 teaspoon butter in a heavy frying pan and cook chicken, stirring frequently, over medium heat until it is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan and add remaining butter if necessary.

Stir in 2 tablespoons basil, garlic and onion. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then add 1/2 cup stock, scraping up any brown particles in the pan.

Return chicken to pan, and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add rest of stock or water if needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Stir in mustard, if using, and sprinkle with remaining basil.
