sauteed chicken and sweet potatoes with creamy dijon sauce
Posted Feb 13 2012 12:35am
So far, my new years resolutions have been going pretty well. I have been working on being more patient and open-minded, giving and flexible, and not taking things personally. There have been a few difficulties along the way, but in the end, they have only increased my determination to make the changes that I seek. I have particularly been excelling in my blog goals – I have over 10 recipe posts ready and waiting for y’all! I have been scouring blogs for recipes to make and planning them out during the week. Because I lack creativity in the dinner department (typically because I am so tired I want to keel over by 7pm), I have focused on dinner recipes. Due to the fact that I like to get in lots of protein and I like chicken – y’all have about 6 different chicken dinner recipes coming. I will try to space them out though so as not to get repetitive… This one incorporates one of my favorite, most versatile ingredients – mustard!
Sprinkle chicken with salt. Dredge in floud and shake off excess. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add half of the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and saute for about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium.
Add the other 1/2 tbsp oil to the pan and then the chopped shallots. Saute for 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and rosemary sprig. Simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in mustard and whipping cream and let bubble a little, and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce is thickened. Remove from heat and discard rosemary. Spoon over chicken and roasted sweet potatoes!
Mustard * Improves digestion (by stimulating increased saliva production) and contains the same antioxidants as turmeric (which gives it its yellow color)!
Sweet potato * high in fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, copper, and B6! The antioxidants in sweet potatoes work to eliminate free radicals (which damage the body) and are anti-inflammatory, so they can help alleviate symptoms of many conditions.
Chicken * a great source of lean protein as well as B vitamins.
I am sorry if my posts have been dull lately! Life consists greatly of studying, classes, working out, studying, and going out when possible. I haven’t felt as blog-creative as in the past and also have been lacking in time. Any input on what y’all would like me to write more about would be helpful
