Sometimes you just need a no-nonsense meal that hits the spot without a fuss. Creamy mustard chicken is one of those dishes that's both easy to prepare and incredibly satisfying. It brings together tender chicken with a rich, tangy mustard sauce that's simply irresistible.

This recipe doesn't require fancy ingredients or a lot of time. It's the kind of dish you can count on for a quick and delicious dinner, whether you're cooking for the family on a busy weeknight or having friends round. The creamy mustard sauce is the star here, coating the chicken and making every bite as flavourful as the last.

Adding a little white pepper helps enhance the flavour of the mustard without overpowering the dish.

The sauce clings to the chicken beautifully, creating a rich base that pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes or pasta. White vermouth adds depth to the sauce, though white wine works just as well if that's what you have to hand.

To finish the dish, garnish with chopped fresh parsley. The vibrant green colour not only makes the plate look better but also adds a subtle fresh note that complements the mustard sauce nicely. Fresh herbs always make a difference, even in simple dishes like this.

Serve this creamy mustard chicken alongside a generous helping of creamy mashed potatoes. The smooth texture of the potatoes soaks up the sauce perfectly, making for a proper comfort food pairing. If you prefer, tagliatelle or another pasta works beautifully too. The sauce coats the pasta well, and it's equally satisfying. This is the kind of straightforward, hearty meal that delivers comfort without any hassle, perfect for those times when you want something dependable and delicious on the table quickly.
