Author Video Description
Coat the chicken in Dijon mustard, brown it in butter, and turn the pan juices into a creamy sauce. This French mustard chicken, also known as poulet à la moutarde, brings together golden chicken, a little tang, and plenty of flavor.
Chicken thighs and drumsticks gently simmer with shallots, white wine, and thyme before the sauce is finished with crème fraîche or sour cream and wholegrain mustard. Those browned bits in the pan give the sauce extra flavor, and the mustard seeds add a little texture. Spoon it over the chicken and finish with freshly chopped parsley.
If you enjoy cozy chicken dinners with a good homemade sauce, I hope you’ll give this one a try. Let me know in the comments how it turns out in your kitchen.
