Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Creamy Chive Sauce

This is my current favorite recipe. I add tarragon (fresh or dried) in the end while I’m adding chives. If it turned out bland for you, you did something wrong because this sauce is the opposite of bland. Follow the recipe!! You should prep everything before you start cooking, even pre measuring the quantities of everything you need. And if your rue flops, take a small scoop of cornstarch, dissolve it in a small amount of water and add the mixture to the sauce while it’s cooking. This works to thicken anything in a pinch!! Arrowroot will do the same. I would not recommend this for beginner cooks, you have to have a good sense of timing for this recipe to turn out and it is VERY involved! But if you are a beginner and want to try it out, remember to prep literally everything and have it within arms reach before you start cooking. And liking or not liking white wine is not important, you don’t taste the wine as if you were drinking it from a glass, it just adds an extra wonderful element to the sauce. I am obsessed with this recipe!! It’s so good and everyone I’ve made it for agrees! And if you want to make it vegetarian I’d imagine portobello mushrooms would be delicious!! And obviously swap out the chicken broth for veggie :)

My husband, who is a picky eater, loiked it! It's a repeat in our house....

The only thing my husband changed was that he put the chicken in oven for a little bit just to ensure it was cooked thoroughly through and we then put the sauce on when we ready to eat ! It was great we bothed loved it !

I pretty much added everything to taste. I used a Sav Blanc that has some acidic qualities and ended up adding more because it makes a delicious sauce. (Also did a little extra mustard and sour cream) I also added some pepper and sage. I accidentally used regular chicken broth but only used 1 can. I think it would have been better with the low sodium but I can't imagine you need more than 1 can. You get so much sauce. I have never really prepared chicken like that before but I thought it had the perfect amount of flour. Mind you I just powdered the surface of the chicken and didn't smother it. I put it with yellow rice and broccoli. I have food for days now. Huge serving. Felt healthy and felt full. Next time if I get the low sodium and continue with my minor tweaks I think it will be perfect. Im also going to try mushrooms next time because I think it would be really good with mushrooms. I really enjoyed this! I also have a lot of extra sauce so I think Ill put it over some pasta.

Loved this recipe! I wouldn't cover the cutlets after cooking while making the sauce, they tend to get soggy and we prefer a crispy cutlet vs soggy/mushy. paired with roasted potatoes and a salad. YUM

I may make it again, but not too sure how I feel about it. It was okay. I couldn't buy dry white wine so I used white cooking wine (not too sure if that lessens the quality of how the dish tasted). The store didn't have shallots at the moment so I used onion instead - which shouldn't have been an issue because I love onion. The first bite took a little bit of getting used to the taste, but after that it was better.

Great recipe. The sauce was great and full of flavor.

Just not good. I did NOT like the mustard-wine combo. I, too, found it bland and floury. I make chicken often and am always trying to find ways to mix it up so my hubby doesn't get "chickened-out." You can find better chicken recipes out there.

Taste like an expensive dinner out. Rich, lots of flavor

So good! We used an unoaked chardonnay, and followed recipe exactly. Paired with garlic crusted asparagus. I have a hard time eating chicken because it's bland to me but this could turn any chicken in to a juicy mouth watering dinner. Bet it would be good on steak as well. Can't wait to make it again.

Excellent Chicken dish that I will make again. I cut the sauce down for 1 piece of chicken and it was perfect. I used Roscato Wine. I'd be curious to know some other white wines that are good for cooking and if it's a sweet or dry wine.

I like this as I can make it, vegan. I used less salt and added more garlic. Yes the wine can be reduced, that intensifies the flavor and helps thicken. Are you using chix stox, not water to mix your thickening agent? You can tweek the seasoning to suit your taste. I do like simple. So did my children! Thanx for sharing!raf

This is so yummy it is hard to believe it is low calorie This is a very tasty chicken dish. I can't believe how low the calories are. It just tastes so rich. I would make this for company. Pros: healthy but very tasty Cons: A little more prep than I like

pretty tasty This chicken was pretty tasty. Gives you the comfort food feel without the comfort food calories. Definitely a keeper. Next time I will add some additional pepper. Pros: easy meal Cons: needs additional seasoning.

Tasty! Made this for dinner today as my hubby and I are trying to eat healthier and in our culture, dishes are tasty but not very healthy. I used 1 chicken breast for the 2 of us as it was very big, so adjusted ingredients accordingly. I didn't use salt as my chicken stock already contains salt, i used natural yoghurt and cream (to tone down the tanginess) as I didn't have sour cream and dried parsley flakes as i don't have chives. I served it with mashed potatoes and a leaf salad containing sweetcorn with a caesar salad dressing. It was very tasty, quick to make and i'll be making it again but hopefully with the sour cream! Thank you! Pros: Quick to prepare

Keeper Fast+Delicious. Added capers and served over noodles (probably should have served over steamed vegetables though). This one is a keeper.

Bursting with FLAVOR! This was one of the first EatingWell recipes I tried and I am a die hard fan of it. First of all I love chives so that had me sold instantly. The first time I made this recipe I did not have white wine on hand but some Marsala wine which I used instead. It changed the flavor a bit but still came out tasting great! I prefer the sauce to be a little thicker so I generally add a little more sour cream and less broth and I have used onions in place of the shallots and the flavor is the same. Overall this is a light dish, but I love to have it with mashed potatoes and drench them in sauce!! It's definitely worth your time! :)

Doesn't taste healthy! This recipe was delicious! I did use less chicken stock for a thicker sauce and used green onions instead of chives. Dinner party worthy!

Wonderful! This was the best recipe! Now one of my new favorites! Made for Mother in law and they just went on and on how great it was! I made my chicken a day ahead and put in refrig and then made sauce next day. Heated up chicken in casserole dish with sauce in oven and was just wonderful! Thanks eating well for making me look so great! A+++++++++++++ Pros: Very easy to prepare ahead of time! Cons: Nada

A New Favorite! WOW! I tried this recipe the other night, and my whole family agreed it is a keeper! Adding this to my favorite recipes file- we will make this again and again! I would suggest that you DON'T substitute things in this recipe because it is THAT good when you follow it exactly. The only thing I did slightly differently was I added about 1/2 of my chives while the sauce simmered (before adding sour cream) and the rest were stirred in at the end. It was simply divine! Always looking for new ways to prepare chicken because my fiance gets bored of the same recipes, and this is a happy addition to our file! Pros: Creamy but not heavy, sauce thickened well, YUMMY!! Cons: None

Wonderful!Made this last night for dinner. Was delcious and my whole family loved it. I added a little extra sour creme and dijon and a little extra wine. Can't wait to eat the left overs for lunch! Will defintely make this again, real soon!Pros: Family LOVED it

Amazing I made this meal for my family last night. It was so amazing and I can not believe this was healthy....it certainly didn't taste like it and all 5 of us ate every bite!! Pros: Easy to make, healthy

YUM! My fiance and I absolutely loved this dish! It was so easy to make and so filling (we had it with potatoes and broccoli). The sauce is TO DIE FOR, I thought we were eating food that was 'bad for us', but it wasn't! One word, YUM! It's a staple meal in our house now. Pros: Quick, easy

Yum! This was really good! The sauce has so much flavor and all the ingredients work well with one another! I love chives and got my chive fix with this! Thanks!!

Very good recipe! I served it with steamed broccoli and sauteed mushrooms, there were no leftovers!

I love this recipe and I have made four or five times. It's my go-to when I have guests over for dinner during a busy week night.

Easy to replicate and was delicious!

This turned out great! I made a couple of modifcations. I was out of white wine, so i used chicken broth instead - I also decreased the amount of liquid to one full cup total for the broth. I also used Tabasco brand mustard - for a little extra zing. The sauce turned out perfectly. I went easy on the onion, since I was feeding it my 2 year old. She loved it! I found the recipe quick, easy and flavorful - it will become a regular menu item at my house!

This was a great comforting Sunday Meal. Made it with mashed potatoes and green beans. Yummy. Next time I would go a little lighter on the mustard as it was a little overpowering, not too bad, but I think it would be even better with a little less.

Very good. My whole family liked it. Light and tasty. I thought it was a little too time consuming to prepare but maybe it will go faster next time.

Fantastic! My family pronounced it a keeper!!! My only change was to add a some cayenne powder to add a little zing.

This was very good, my husband is a picky eater and he loved it. He didn't even notice the Dijon mustard, which he hates.Made garlic and dill mashed potatoes to go with it and used some sauce as gravy, yummy, will be making this again.

I haven't made it yet, but would like to know how to substitute the wine. I don't keep wine on hand and really don't like the taste. Linda, Texas

Loved it! Followed the recipe as stated except added baby bella's and some crushed red peppers. Loved by all and great over rice.

Yummy, a hit with my picky husband! And the chicken is so tender (I was afraid I undercooked it).
