Over high heat cook the chicken for 4 minutes until just no longer pink. (over cooking dries the chicken out) Remove the chicken from the skillet and add the chives, lemon juice, liquor, parsley, and mustard to skillet. Whisk constantly for about 30 seconds blending well. Add the broth, remaining butter and oil to the skillet Continue to whisk adding cornstarch until smooth and beginning to thicken. Return chicken to skillet and serve when heated thoroughly.
