I have been making this for over 10 years and is the most requested recipe I have! This is everyone's favorite chicken dish I make! It's a nice change from "ordinary" chicken! Goes well with steamed broccoli. (Note: This is a "Diane" recipe, therefore has a mustard taste to it!!)

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup chicken broth

Very good. Next time I will double the sauce ingredients. I made this with String/Green Beans W/Ginger and Garlic and it was scrumptious!

I have made this dish many times but have failed to rate it. My family loves it. Not having any brandy I used white wine instead. I also added 2 minced cloves of garlic because we are garlic freaks! Yum yum. Can't wait to have it again!

This was soooo good! I used apple juice with a drop of vanilla instead of the brandy, but kept to the ingredients. We had it with broccoli and rice, I'll try it with mashed potatoes next time. Thanks for posting Wendy.

This is a delicious (and quick!) way to make chicken! I had to sub a little, didn't have chives so I used sliced green onion tops, didn't have a lime, so I splashed in about 1/2 tsp. of lemon juice. It turned out great! Thanks for posting! :o)
