4 6-7 oz free range chicken breasts (wing bone & filet on)

3 shallots sliced
1 Tbsp fresh thyme
2 Tbsp canola oil
30 g butter (2 tbsp)
300 ml chicken stock
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
20 ml fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp fresh parsley

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375º F. Remove filet from breasts and using a mallet, lightly flatten Make a 2 in. incision in the bottom of the breast and create a circular pocket beneath. Preheat a sauté pan on medium heat, add 10 g butter, then shallots. Sweat shallots and add chanterelles, season with salt and pepper, cook until wilting. Finish with chopped fresh thyme and cool.

Remove chicken from pan and keep warm.

Pour fat from pan and place on a burner. Add lemon juice, chicken stock and Dijon mustard, scraping any bit stuck to the bottom of the pan. Reduce stock by half and add remainder of butter, remove pan from heat and swirl the butter until melted and has slightly thickened the sauce. Finish with fresh parsley and pour over chicken.
