What’s Cooking? | Chicken with Mustard Cream Sauce – Ep. 17

On this episode of  “What’s Cooking?” Chef Merry makes a chicken with a mustard cream sauce! This became a favorite in our house very quickly, making it at least monthly when we first discovered it. This sauce is incredibly tasty and easy. It’s also nice because you can pair it with rice, quinoa, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

This sauce calls for white wine, brandy, or chicken broth–and every time we go for the brandy. We make a note of it in the recipe below, but when working with alcohol you have to turn off the heat & be very careful when adding, or else you can cause a small fire. Other than that one step, the rest is easy and you can make a restaurant-quality dish in your own kitchen with minimal effort!

Please note that this is the one of several episodes filmed with Dave’s iPhone & minimal equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

For those that want to print & try this recipe you can take it from below.
