I have been making this for over 10 years and is the most requested recipe I have! This is everyone's favorite chicken dish I make! It's a nice change from "ordinary" chicken! Goes well with steamed broccoli. (Note: This is a "Diane" recipe, therefore has a mustard taste to it!!)

Yummy recipe. I made with 2 chicken breasts, and left the rest of the measurements in the recipe as directed. I think I would have had to double the sauce if I had made the 4 chicken breasts suggested. Also, I used scallions instead of chives, and used closer to 1/2 c. of chicken broth. This is a mustard-intense dish, so I added additional lime juice to balance out the overpowering mustard taste, which I would have liked but my husband would not have. Also, 4 minutes per side was not long enough to cook the chicken for me. I cooked a total of about 6 minutes per side, and the chicken came out juicy and well-cooked. I served with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli and cauliflower. I would definitely make this dish again. Thank you.

    This is a delicious, elegant chicken dish and I love how quick and easy it is to prepare. My dh gave it a thumbs up and I make it at least twice a month. Thank you for passing this one along!

    This was soooo good! I used apple juice with a drop of vanilla instead of the brandy, but kept to the ingredients. We had it with broccoli and rice, I'll try it with mashed potatoes next time. Thanks for posting Wendy.

    This is a delicious (and quick!) way to make chicken! I had to sub a little, didn't have chives so I used sliced green onion tops, didn't have a lime, so I splashed in about 1/2 tsp. of lemon juice. It turned out great! Thanks for posting! :o)
