Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts cut in half to make 4 thin pieces
  • ½ cup flour plus 1 tablespoon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt plus extra if needed
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon light oil such as canola
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ - 1 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons capers plus extra for topping
  • 4 cups fresh arugula
  • pound pasta cooked to package directions, optional, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat with the butter and oil. Combine the flour, reserving one tablespoon, with the cornstarch and salt. Dredge the chicken on both sides in the flour mixture.
  • When the butter is foamy, add the chicken to the skillet and let cook for 3 - 5 minutes on the first side until browned on the bottom and opaque at the edges. Flip, and cook for 3 minutes more until chicken is fully cooked through. Remove the chicken to plates for serving.
  • In the same pan, make the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and sprinkle the remaining tablespoon flour over the pan drippings. Whisk to combine. Add the dijon and garlic, and whisk again to combine. Pour in ½ cup chicken stock to make a sauce, whisking until smooth. Add more stock to your preference to form a thin gravy.
  • Right before serving, add the capers to the sauce. Taste, and add more salt if you'd like.
  • Serve the chicken with pasta and arugula, drizzled with the sauce.
