(Cook, Eat, Cha Cha Cha, Chronicle Books, ISBN 0-8118-1146-8). The restaurant is in Haight-Ashbury, which makes a great place to stroll (avoiding the panhandlers) while waiting 1-2 hours for a table. >From Cook, Eat, Cha Cha Cha Start the music Cut each breast lengthwise into 3 - 4 strips. Place the strips on a cutting board and pound each piece with the smooth side of a mallet to 1/4" thickness (6 mm). Brush each piece with olive oil, cover, and refrigerate. Light a charcoal or gas grill. Remove the chicken from the fridge 30 min before grilling. Grill over a medium fire for 2-3 min./side. Pool the mustard sauce on each place and arrange 3 paillards (breasts) on top. Serve at once. Dijon Mustard sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients. Place over medium heat, and, stirring occasionally, simmer for 15 - 20 min. Remove from heat and whisk for 1 - 2 minutes, or until it begins to thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
