Quoted message said:About 10 years ago, I had found a great recipe inside the Perdue Chicken Breasts package for
chicken in a dijon mustard sauce.
I recall it used garlic, dijon mustard, and scallions or green onions. Not sure what else.
Well, I had searched on Google for this recipe, but I did a slightly different search before I went
to bed last night and found something called an "E Text" for a Perdue Chicken Cookbook. It seems to
be a plain text version of The Perdue cookbook, in PDF form. I downloaded it and searched it, and
found what I was looking for!!!
Here it is. I had forgotten the mushrooms and wine, which is probably what was missing when I tried
to make it from memory. I'm putting it in Mastercook and saving it forever!!!! :-)

CHICKEN IN MUSTARD SAUCE Serves 4
Home economist Michelle Scicolone developed this recipe for Perdue, and she has an ultimate
compliment for it: "It's what I make all the time when I'm cooking at home." You get crunchiness and
crispness but it's not fried. According to Michelle, it comes out just fine with any mustard that
you have on hand or any chicken parts you have around.
1 roaster boneless breast or thin sliced boneless breast
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced (2 cups)
2 tablespoons minced, fresh parsley
l tablespoon minced shallot or scallion
l/8 teaspoon ground pepper
m/2 cup chicken broth
n/4 cup dry white wine
l tablespoon Dijon mustard
Slice breast thinly if using whole breast. In large skillet, over medium-high heat, heat 2
tablespoons oil. Add breast slices a few at a time, placing them so that pieces do not touch. Saute
about 2 minutes per side, until chicken is lightly browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove
from skillet; keep warm. Heat remaining oil. Add mushrooms, parsley, shallot and pepper. Stirring
frequently, cook 2 minutes. Stir in broth and wine; bring to a boil and cook until liquid is reduced
by half (about 1/3 cup). Reduce heat to low; stir in mustard until well blended. Spoon over chicken.
