  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh chervil or parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Cut the kernels from the ears of corn. There should be about 1 cup. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat butter in a skillet large enough to hold the breasts in one layer. Add the chicken, cook 3 minutes and turn. Cover and cook 5 minutes longer.

Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm. Add corn and wine to skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in mustard and cream, and let simmer until slightly thickened. Return chicken to skillet and heat through. Sprinkle with chervil or parsley before serving.
