Chicken Diane is a delicious and elegant recipe that's perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to ensure they are coated and warmed through.
- 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.
- 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.
