     Chicken is my favorite meat.  There’s no doubt about it.  It is probably the only meat that we have every single week.  However, at times I find it difficult to find new ways of cooking it.  So I went browsing on Pintrest as I so often do and I found this delicious Chicken with Mustard Cream Sauce on Melissa’s blog. 
     This is a great weeknight meal.  The chicken gets cooked in a skillet and then the creamy mustard sauce is made in the same skillet.  I am always concerned that the Dijon mustard is going to be too strong, but the half and half really mellows it out.  I served the chicken with mashed potatoes and poured a little of the extra mustard cream sauce on top of them as well.  Very tasty!
