Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a mix of Dijon mustard, garlic, and olive oil for an hour before cooking. If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute with whole grain mustard or a mix of yellow mustard and honey for a sweeter taste. Fresh herbs, such as thyme or parsley, can also elevate the dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Chicken Supreme Dijon over fluffy rice or alongside buttered noodles for a comforting meal. For a complete dinner, pair it with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. This dish also pairs beautifully with Chicken Mornay for an indulgent chicken feast.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the chicken and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, do so gently on the stovetop over low heat to prevent the cream from separating. You can add a splash of cream or broth to loosen the sauce if it thickens.
