Dress up your spring chicken with sweet leeks, bright scallions and fragrant chives topped with a delicate Dijon cream sauce.

Active Time: 35 min
Total Time: 40 min
Servings: 4

4 6 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
Sea salt, to taste
White pepper, to taste
3 tsp olive oil
4 green onions, finely sliced
1 small leek, finely sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup cream
2 tsp whole grain Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp chopped chives, to garnish

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and white pepper.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Saute the chicken until browned on each side, about 3 minutes total. Set chicken aside.

Add the green onion and leek to the pan. Saute until the whites begin to look translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the wine and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the liquid to about half its volume, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cream and reduce to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan. Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Place chicken on a serving platter. Stir the mustard into the pan sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with chives.
