Chicken with mustard and wine sauce

Chicken with mustard and wine sauce is a recipe that reflects the fusion of European culinary techniques with typical Latin American ingredients. Originating from French cuisine, this preparation has been adopted and adapted in various Latin American countries, where it is known by similar names that reflect its essence, although with small regional variations. In Mexico and Colombia, for example, it is common to find versions with local influences in the use of spices and side dishes, while in Argentina and Chile it remains more faithful to the French tradition, highlighting the use of white wine in the cooking process.

The use of Dijon mustard, originating from the French city of Dijon, provides a characteristic and slightly spicy flavor that combines perfectly with the tenderness of the chicken and the acidity of the white wine. This recipe is appreciated for its delicacy and the richness of its sauce, which can accompany both informal meals and special dinners.

How to Prepare Adopted Chicken with Mustard and Wine Sauce

To begin this delicious recipe, cut the chicken into serving-sized pieces.

Then, sauté the chicken in hot oil until it is golden brown on all sides.

Remove the chicken from the pan, discarding all the oil except a little to continue with the preparation.

Next, add the garlic cloves and chopped shallots.

Cook these ingredients for one minute so they release their aromas.

Add the dry white wine and return the chicken to the pan.

Cover and simmer until the chicken is tender, approximately 15 minutes.

If necessary, add more wine to prevent the preparation from drying out.

Increase the heat, add the leeks sliced thin, mix well, and cook briefly.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cover and continue cooking over medium heat for 3 minutes.

Finally, incorporate the Dijon mustard and the whipping cream.

If the sauce is too thick, dilute it with a little wine or cream to achieve the desired consistency.
