Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
470g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/2 tsp white pepper
1.20g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 tbsp butter
27g
3 tbsp chives
9g
1/2 lime
33g
3 tbsp fresh parsley
11g
2 tsp mustard
10g
1/4 cup chicken broth
60g
1 fl oz rum
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Breasts:
- Pound each chicken breast lightly to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the salt and white pepper.
2. Heat the Pan:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
4. Prepare the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, allowing it to melt and become bubbly.
- Add the chopped chives and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
5. Deglaze the Pan:
- Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the skillet, stirring to combine. This will help deglaze the pan and lift any delicious bits stuck to the bottom.
- Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
6. Add Remaining Ingredients:
- Add the mustard to the skillet, stirring to incorporate it into the sauce.
- Pour in the chicken broth and rum, stirring well to blend all the ingredients.
- Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Combine Chicken and Sauce:
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to ensure they are coated and warmed through.
8. Serve:
- Arrange the chicken breasts on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Spoon additional sauce over the chicken for added flavor.
- Garnish with extra chopped parsley or chives if desired.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve hot, pairing it with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Tips:

- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking to ensure they cook evenly.

- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.

- Don't skip the deglazing step with rum; it adds a rich depth of flavor to the sauce.

- Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and juicy for the best experience.
