Method
- Horizontally slice each chicken breast right through the centre to create 4 even-sized breasts. Combine the seasoning mix in a small pot or bowl, then evenly sprinkle over both sides of each breast.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat and stir in the butter and oil. Add the chicken and fry for a few minutes on each side, or until lightly charred on the outside and piping hot/white through the centre. Remove and place on a plate to one side then lower the heat to medium.
- Add the shallots and fry in the leftover fat until soft and golden. Pour in the stock, then stir in the cream cheese until it blends into a sauce. Whisk to smooth out all the small lumps. Stir in the Dijon, then stir in the resting juices from the chicken.
- If the sauce is too thick, gently simmer for a couple of minutes and stir in a splash more stock or water to thin it out.
- Add the chicken back in and baste in the sauce, then sprinkle with chives and a pinch of black pepper. Serve.

Notes
For added flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine during cooking. Always ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother sauce.
