Salt and pepper to season
1/2 cup slivered almonds
4 oz white wine

Remove chicken from pan and hold in a warm oven.
Add to pan the white wine. Simmer until volume is reduced by half. Then add whipping cream, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens enough to coat a metal spoon.
