Ok, ok – it’s true. My favorite condiment is mustard. And I guess I really like mustard with chicken, because this isn’t the first time I’ve made a chicken dish that was covered in a mustard sauce! But what can I say – I like what I like!!
Truly, though, I was drawn to this recipe from the moment I saw it. One of those reasons is that I’m horrible with side dishes. I know we need to eat more veggies, but coming up with side dishes every night gets difficult for me. But with this dish, you don’t even have to think about it, because the side is included in the meal!! You cook potatoes and green beans, you cook your chicken, and the you coat them all in a delicious grainy mustard sauce. This was a no-brainer for me!
And it doesn’t hurt that it’s done in half and hour, and it’s a pretty budget friendly meal as well. I think it’s a winner!!

Growing up I was never much of a fan of mustard but I’ve really come to love it over the past few years. This meal looks great, and I definitely support any dish where the side is already included 🙂

I really appreciate the simplicity of this recipe. Mustard is also my very favourite condiment. Dijon and grainy are the best. I would make this without hesitation.

Mmm, I love Chicken and Mustard together too. Aside from Josh’s collection of hot sauce in our fridge, mustard is probably the condiment we have the most of.
