This creamy chicken dinner is simple to make, only taking a few minutes of prep time, and it’s all cooked in one pan to save on the washing up too.
But, just because it’s simple dinner don’t think it’s not packed full of flavour!
The star of the show is the Dijon mustard. It has a unique tangy and slightly spicy warmth to it that goes so well with the chicken.
The parmesan, pecans and bacon are optional extras but I think they add so much texture and depth of flavour to the dish that it’s worth the little extra effort.
I’m not sure if you know this about me but I LOVE Kale 😍. From my Kale and Bacon Mash, Cheesy Pasta with Bacon and Kale to my Kale and Egg Breakfast.
Kale is full of iron and adds a lovely buttery-ness to this dish.
👩🍳PRO TIP I sometimes like to swap out the kale for spinach (but just add for the last 2 minutes of cooking), or alternatively, top with a big handful of fresh pea-shoots before serving.
What makes Chicken Dijon exceptional is the balance of flavours. The tangy warmth of the mustard is balanced by the creamy sauce, and the added kale gives a fresh buttery-ness that both offsets and compliments the creamy sauce perfectly.
Simple Buttered Carrots Mashed Potato or a Baked Potato Nice Fresh Pasta for a change Some posh Fondant Potatoes Or you could even double down on the kale and bacon, and serve it with my Kale and Bacon Mashed Potatoes.
