2 lbs chicken breast pounded 1/2 inch
1/3 cup flour for dredging
3 tbs olive oil
1 lb green grapes halved
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups chicken broth
3 tbs Italian Parsley chopped
1/4 cup brandy
3 medium shallots chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 tbs Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Pound the chicken to an even thickness about 1/2 inch. Season the chicken and dredge in the flour. Remove any excess flour by tapping the chicken together.
2. In a large pan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken in the olive oil about 3 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the pan and allow to rest.
3. In the same pan cook the shallots and garlic for a few minutes over medium heat. Add the mustard and wine and cook until reduced by half. Add the broth, and cream and reduce by 2/3rds.
4. Place the chicken back into the sauce with the grapes, parsley and brandy. Allow them to cook for another 2 minutes. Season to taste and serve.

Chef’s Notes: Muscat grapes would be excellent with this dish just remember to remove the seeds prior to cooking.[/private]
