Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 1 tablespoon pan drippings (fond)

  • 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 1 cup chicken stock

  • 2 tablespoons cold butter

Directions

  1. Heat pan drippings (fond) in their skillet or roasting pan over high heat. Stir mustard into the skillet.

  2. Pour chicken stock into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook at a boil until sauce has a creamy consistency, 2 to 5 minutes.

  3. Remove the skillet from heat. Whisk cold butter into sauce until butter is melted and sauce is shiny.

Chef's Note

You can substitute apple juice or wine for the chicken stock, if desired.
