Dijon Crusted Chicken Breasts is a quick fix full of a lot of flavor. Mustard was not a condiment I used to cook a lot with but every time I do it adds a great layer of flavor. I like to pair it with a salad in the summer and roasted potatoes in the winter.
I have altered the original recipe a little by not using margarine and more oil. I found this recipe in my Taste of Home Healthy Cooking 2009 Annual Recipes Cookbook.
