*RECIPE* (2 servings)
INGREDIENTS:
450g/1 lb chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
---Marinade---
1/2 tsp black pepper powder & salt
3 tbsp yogurt
---Sauce---
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large/6 small shallots
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp dried thyme/5 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 lemon/lime
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup heavy cream (or fresh cream)
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp black pepper powder
1-2 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp fennel powder (optional)
Salt as needed

PROCESS:
1. Slice 450g/1 lb boneless chicken breasts into even thin fillets. This will help them cook evenly and stay tender
2. Marinade the chicken in 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper and 3 tbsp yogurt for 15 mins or longer
3. Mince 2 large/6 small shallots. Shallots pair well with mustard but can be substituted with 1 small onion and 1 clove of garlic
4. Heat olive oil on medium flame and fry the chicken breast fillets for 2 minutes per side. This should be enough to cook it through as thin fillets cook very fast. Cooking them for too long will make them dry and rubbery
5. Remove the cooked chicken fillets and set it aside. If you wish to cut them into pieces, wait 5 minutes before doing so. They need time to rest to stay moist
6. In the same pan, reduce flame to low and melt 2 tbsp butter
7. Sauté the minced shallots until translucent
8. Add the thyme and mix well
9. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/2 cup water and 1 tsp sugar
10. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced by less than half
11. Add 1-2 tbsp dijon mustard. Add 1 tbsp first, you can taste and add more if needed
12. Add 1/3 cup heavy/fresh cream and mix well
13. Add 1/2 tsp black pepper powder, 1/2 tsp fennel powder and salt as needed
14. Switch off the flame, add cooked chicken breasts and let it soak for 5 mins. This will warm the chicken and allow it to absorb flavor
15. Serve this will steamed broccoli, buttered toast or herb rice

Bloody delicious mate. Come up a treat.

Superb! Thanks for uploading. I have lots of basil growing at the moment and have used some to finish this dish, then have it with fresh pappardelle and grated parmesan. I use white wine or Benedictine to flambe the chicken before adding the cream. It's really good and aromatic. Your recipes are inspirational, so thanks again.
