Season the boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear in the hot pan for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Add banana shallots to the same pan and sauté for 1 minute until soft.
Stir in minced garlic and sauté covered for about 5-10 minutes, until shallots are soft and fragrant.
Pour in ½ cup of white wine, deglaze the pan, and let it boil for about 5 minutes until reduced by two-thirds.
Reduce heat to low, stir in 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and ½ cup of double cream, and thicken for about 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, cover, and let simmer over low heat for around 15 minutes.
Serve the chicken with creamy sauce spooned over each piece, garnished with chopped chives.
