Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat a heavy-bottomed, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken well, then put into the pan, skin-side down.

Move onto a plate, cover loosely and rest for 5-10 minutes.Step 2
Put the oil in the pan you fried the chicken in and add the lardons. Cook for 5 minutes until they are beginning to brown, then tip in the shallots with a pinch of salt, turn the heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a minute before pouring in the wine and bubbling until reduced by half.Step 3
Pour in the cream, add the mustard and bubble until thick and saucy. Season. Add any resting juices from the chicken and serve the sauce with the breasts.
