Dijon and Dill Chicken (Double D Chicken)

I am experimenting more with fresh herbs and making my gardening plans for next year and the edible plants I want to grow.  Yes,  I am well aware that it's early to be planning for next year. This is supposed to be a less-than-30-minute meal to make...it took a lot longer because the chicken breasts were huge!   

Ingredients
1/2 cup all purpose flour
4 chicken breasts
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbs olive oil
1 minced shallot
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine (I used Sutter Homes Chardonnay)
3 tbs unsalted butter
2 tbs chopped fresh dill
1 tbs Country dijon mustard


Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken.  Spread flour in a shallow dish and dredge chicken in the flour.

Heat 1 tbs olive oil in sauté pan and cook chicken until golden brown and 160 degrees.  Depending on the size of the chicken breast, it can be 5 to 10 minutes each side.  Remove chicken from pan and tent loosely with aluminum foil.

Heat remaining 1 tbs olive oil and add shallots and cook until shallots become soft.  Stir in chicken broth and wine.  Simmer for about 8 minutes until it begins to thicken.  Remove from heat and stir in mustard, dill and butter.  Serve sauce over chicken.
