If 4 servings are made, I figured out that there are 370 calories if brandy is used, or 290 calories if white wine is used, or 246 calories if chicken broth is used. (Please note that the calorie counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)

         I love this recipe.  This mustard cream sauce is so flavorful!  I have never been a big fan of mustard, in fact I just started putting it on a hot dog, which is pretty sad.

         This recipe is very quick to make, which would be great for a family.  This one is a keeper.  I LOVE IT!!

Here are the ingredients that I used in this recipe

 First, I melted the butter and olive oil

 I cooked the chicken steaks until they were brown on 
both sides after salting and peppering them.

I chopped up the garlic and measured the chicken broth,
 which I used instead of brandy or white wine. 
I went for the least calories of the three options. 

After cooking the garlic for a minute or 
two, I added the chicken broth. 

 I placed the browned chicken breasts 
in my fabulous containers.
This photo is out of order, and should be before the sauce.

 After letting the garlic and broth simmer for a few minutes,
I added the two mustards. 

 I mixed it well.

 I then added the rest of the chicken broth.

 My favorite addition was the heavy cream.  Yeah!!

  The final step was to add the salt and pepper.

I spooned a lot of the sauce over each chicken breast. 

Now, it is off to the freezer!

I am so happy to show my first photos 

of my newest nephew, Carden.

 I am not used to such a small baby!

Dad, Wesley is a natural with him.  

I wish I had taken a picture with Lindsay, too.

Sorry, Linds!
