The flavor combination here of both whole-grain and Dijon mustard, white wine, and fresh tarragon is really delicious. Tangy with a bit of an anise-flavor from the fresh herbs, this is a perfect match for tender chicken breasts and the slight tart-acidity of the artichoke hearts. I like to serve a dish like this one over a sauté of seasonal greens, along with a side of orzo or rice to help soak up the scrumptious sauce.

‘Chicken Breasts with Artichokes & Mustard Sauce’
Ingredients:
- Recipe Courtesy of The Culinary Institute of America’s Gourmet Meals in Minutes*
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 1/2 cups white onion
- 3 lbs. chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, 3/4-inch dice (although I just baked chicken breasts and served them with the sauce**)
- 2 Tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 cups white wine, or as needed
- 8 artichokes hearts, canned or frozen, quartered
- 1 Tablespoon tarragon, chopped
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Heat a Dutch oven. Swirl the oil and butter, then add the onions. Saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cook until opaque, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the whole-grain mustard, Dijon, and white wine. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, adding additional wine if needed. Uncover, and simmer the mixture until it reaches to a sauce consistency, about 10 minutes.
- Add the artichoke hearts and tarragon 5 minutes before completion; cook until heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- (Or, bake the chicken in a preheated 375 degree oven as I did, for 35-40 minutes or until they reach an internal temp of 165 degrees; serve with the sauce*)
