Notes

Use high-quality Dijon mustard for the best flavor. Substitute chicken thighs with breasts or turkey cutlets if preferred. If avoiding dairy, coconut cream is a great alternative. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to three days; reheat gently with a splash of cream or broth. For an added touch, garnish with fresh parsley before serving, and consider serving with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
