The idea of "mustard" chicken is making you make faces right. You're squinting your eyes, crinkling your nose, even sticking out your tongue and saying, "Ewwww". I know, because that's what I did when I first saw this recipe. I tried it anyway and it's a keeper. A little added bonus, you can make this using pork chops too!
My girls do not care for mustard at all, but they will hurt themselves on this chicken. Let's lower the shroud of mystery and see for yourself, I know you will be intrigued and will want to try this.
In a small bowl, place 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of Creole or brown grainy mustard, 2 tablespoons minced garlic, a splash of white wine or chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Blend with a wire whisk.
Salt and pepper three or four boneless, skinless chicken breasts and slather mustard mixture on both sides of the chicken breasts.
Cook in a skillet in about 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil over medium high heat. Allow the first side to cook approximately seven minutes before turning. Cook until done.
The mustard forms a very tasty "crust" that you can feel good about because it is not bread.

I LOVE mustard on chicken. I use it a lot actually. This looks delicious. I think I might try it tonight.
I am also an east tennessean, although I've almost always been a tennessean....just hopped from the middle of the state to here.
Your blog looks fantastic and I like reading it knowing you're probably staring at the same crappy rain I am getting ready to walk to class in.

I can just plan my weekly dinner menu from your blog! This looks so good and it helps that the crust is not breading!
I happen to really like mustard so this sounds great to me. Something different. I would definitely like to try this. Thanks!
Katherine,
We love mustard chicken and this plays nicely into a blog post I have planned for next week. Mine is much less healthy though. You are a good girl :)
Hoping you stay dry in our East TN rain (which I hear may turn to snow?).

I thought -- oh, yum! when I saw the title of this blog post! We here love anything with mustard. This is a great recipe!
I made something similar last night... a mustard based marinade is very tasty!
Looks delicious!
I love mustard-tasting food! That chicken looks mighty scrumptious!
Cheers,

It sounded good to me right off. I love honey musturd and I guess that's what I was thinking, but no, this sounds really good and I bet it is good on the pork chops too.
I love mustard too Katherine, I think they add an interesting flavor to the chicken, it's kind of spicy and tangy at the same time.
Cheers,
Elra

I like to whisk dijon mustard with cream to make an out of this world sauce for chicken or fish! Sounds strange, but it works!

Yeah you're right, I did wrinkle my nose when I first heard "mustard" and chicken together, but your descriptions have won me over and I am going to try it out this week!! Fingers crossed!
I probably have 4-5 different types of mustard and I like using it on meats but never have I tried this approach.
You southern folk come up with some novel cookin'!
