Notes

Chicken thighs remain extra juicy and flavorful in this recipe.Whole grain mustard can be used for added texture and deeper mustard flavor.Add mushrooms or spinach for extra heartiness and nutrition.If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in a splash of chicken broth or cream.Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, or alongside roasted vegetables.
