What to serve with this Dijon Mustard Chicken
This mustard chicken goes great with a variety of sides. You can opt for rice, noodles or baby potatoes, classic and delicious! Also throw in some roasted veggies, you can’t go wrong.
Can I substitute the cream for something else?
I used heavy cream because it has a rich flavor velvety texture. You could use half and half or milk but be aware, the sauce will end up thinner. If you do use half and half make sure to heat the sauce slowly.
Can I use a different type of mustard?
This mustard chicken recipe uses dijon mustard, it has a sharpness to it that cuts through the sauce perfectly. But you can go for other mustards, wholegrain is a great one for cooking.
Make it your own
You can also use skinless boneless chicken thighs, instead of breasts. Cook times should remain the same, but be sure to check internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches 165F. Click for our fave Meat Thermometer (affiliate link).

My entire family loves this meal, even the children. It is easy to make with ingredients I always have on hand. I served it with mashed potatoes as the sauce makes a terrific gravy. This recipe is in the regular rotation.

Want to make this recipe, browning th breasts doesn’t cook them to 165 degrees, do you finish in the oven ?
