Roasted Chicken Medallions with a Mustard Sauce

Ingredients -

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 egg
1/4 cup roasted macadamia nuts, pulverized
1 tablespoon butter
Olive oil
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons Pomery mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 roasted red pepper, julienned
1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch fresh spinach
1/2 cup flour
Vegetable oil
Salt and black pepper
Lettuce and orange slices to serve

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine the flour, nuts, salt and pepper. Combine the egg, a tablespoon of mustard and milk and season with salt and pepper to make an egg dip.

Combine the rest of the mustard with the mayonnaise and a little water to make a mustard sauce.

Slice the chicken breasts into three horizontal slices and pound them slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

Sauté the onion in 1-tablespoon olive oil for 5 minutes or until caramelized. Remove from the pan.

Flour the chicken pieces and dredge them in the egg dip, then flour again. Sauté for 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the pan to a baking sheet and bake 3 or 4 minutes or until the juices are, clear.

Drain the excess oil from the sauté pan and add a tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced garlic. Stir and cook until golden. Add the red pepper and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.

Season and transfer to the center of a serving plate.

Add a tablespoon of butter to the pan, melt it then add the onions and cook them for a minute.

Place them on top of the spinach.

Remove the chicken from the oven and arrange it around the vegetables. Spoon the mustard sauce on top.
