Chicken Breasts Diane

This is quick, easy and really has a nice flavor. Have all your stuff measured, chopped and ready because it goes really fast!

*4 boneless chicken breasts (I used larger chicken tenders). If using chicken breasts pound slightly between sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap. (I didn't with the tenders)
*Salt & pepper them
*Heat 1 T each of oil and butter in large skillet
*Cook chicken over high to medium high heat for 4 minutes on each side. (It only took 2 min each side with tenders) Watch out! It splatters! Do not cook longer as they will become too dry & over cooked.
*Remove to serving plate (warmed is nice)
*Add 3 T green onions or chives, Juice of 1/2 lime or lemon, 3 T chopped parsley and 2 tsp Dijon mustard to drippings in frying pan. Whisk constantly for about 15 seconds.
*Whisk in 1/4 - 1/2 C chicken broth. Stir until smooth.
* Whisk in 1 T butter.
Pour sauce over chicken. Serve immediately.
Serves 4.
