French dishes are often takes a long time to make, with high amount of preparations and stages of cooking, however the poulet à la moutarde (chicken in mustard sauce) is not one of them.

Ahhh the smell of chicken stock and mustard sauce, what a great combination, don’t be tempted in adding heavy cream, it’s really not necessary although in some recipes cream is a part of the dish. Even without it, this sauce is silky creamy texture, your guests will not believe there is not cream in it.

Poulet à la Moutarde tips

This recipe is all about the mustard so make sure you use a good French mustard sauce, most of the French mustards can be bought in any delicatessen or on the net.

Another important factor for this dish is using chicken thighs or drumsticks (I use both) keeping the skin on, this will not only create a crunchy texture but will also keep the chicken tender and moist.

I bake this chicken on 175°c/ 350°F covered for 40-50 minutes and another 20 minutes without the lid, making the chicken skin go crispy plus reducing the sauce and sharpening its flavors.

When making the mustard chicken I throw in the pot a few potatoes as well, the traditional way of cooking is without any vegetable but the potatoes are just delicious in this sauce and getting a smoky feeling that can’t be reached by a simple baking, so I deeply recommend adding them as well.

Make sure you have bread nearby, you’ll need it when you’ll want to wipe out this delicious sauce leftovers.

I serve this dish with plain rice or mashed potatoes, but anything that can absorb this silky sauce will be just fine.
