One pot mustard chicken is the kind of chicken dish everyone loves. It doesn't need too much love and attention which is great for busy days. It just sorts itself out.
I make mustard chicken with chicken thighs or breast and it works well wither way. I also have a very similar recipe for lamb chops which is just as delicious and will be on the website shortly.
I got this recipe from my sister but i am not sure where it originates from. If you do, please let me know so I can credit appropriately for it and say a huge thank you too because it is so yummy. 🙂
You know when you have so much work to do that it is just so overwhelming? Right now, that is where i am at. I have hours and hours of training to do, I am running behind on other classwork and all that is before I have even thought about the blog or my new voluntary job. So right now, i feel like my head has a traffic jam in it. I imagine al the jobs like cars tooting their horns, trying to overtake one another. Really though..I just want to sleep. Sleep deprivation isn't pretty. Stop moaning woman i just heard myself say. Disclaimer: These feelings in no way mean I am unaware of the countless blessings in my life. Nor do they make me ungrateful. 😉
Anyway do try this chicken. It really is one you will make endlessly as we so often do.
The reason is that some days on top of your day to day life and work, you also have appointments and meetings to consider and so meals like this are just so easy. One pot meals are lifesavers on days like these. As mentioned this recipe works really well with chicken thighs too.
Enjoy your day!
