This Chicken Diane Style is one of my all-time favorite chicken dishes. Typically, the meat which is prepared “diane style” is steak, but in this take on the classic recipe, I use chicken. Diane style means that the meat is cooked with mushrooms, onions, brandy and dijon mustard giving the dish a distinctly French flavor.
Cooking with brandy is a guaranteed way to elevate a dish and if you are cooking for friends, they will definitely admire your sophistication in the kitchen! The brandy adds a real depth to this sauce and when it’s coupled with the mushrooms and mustard, it creates a very smooth and aromatic meal. As the chicken cooks in the sauce, it is guaranteed to turn out moist and tender every time.
To make my version of Chicken Diane Style, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large pan or skillet, sauté the onions and sliced mushrooms over medium heat.
Once the onions and mushrooms are cooked, remove them from the pan and set to one side.
Add the chicken breasts to the pan and sauté them on one side. After 4 minutes, turn them over and spoon the mushroom and onion mixture on top.
Mix salt, pepper, paprika, chives and parsley together in a separate bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the chicken, mushrooms and onions.
Mix the chicken broth, brandy and mustard together in another bowl.
Pour the sauce over chicken. Turn the heat down low and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Serve the chicken diane with sauteed potatoes or fluffy white rice.
