Paleo Chicken Dijonnaise

 I can almost see my French Chef instructors cringe at me telling them I no longer make sauces with cream OR butter.The majority all of my classical French culinary training consisted of mastering(haven't yet)the fine art of making the 5 mother sauces.If you use any of these methods or sauces as a base, there are endless concoctions you can make.Having said that, I am now the crazy scientist trying to come up with dairy free sauces.I bought some amazing meyer lemons today which really rocked this chicken. Here goes....I ended up really liking this.
