Quick & Easy Low Fat Creamy Mustard Chicken

Here’s another healthy quick and easy recipe for you – “Low Fat Creamy Mustard Chicken”! But before you run off and cook it – I have a little confession to make, this was the first time cooking this recipe, it was done on the spur of moment, using whatever ingredients was available and I might have misjudged the quantity of stock to use, and added a little too much.

After making the video, I wasn’t too happy with the finished dish, the sauce wasn’t as thick as I would have liked, and was in two minds of posting it…

But, because I served mine with Tagliatelle, I mixed it together and let it stand for a short while, it continued cooking in its residual heat and turned out thick and creamy with beautifully moist and succulent chicken.

So you could do as I did or start by adding less stock, maybe try 100ml to begin, or add a little cornflour to thicken it, or mix in a little extra cream cheese.

The flavour needed no adjusting, it was very satisfying; it was rich but subtle and had just the right kick.

So, what are you waiting for? Watch the video below and get cooking. Let me know what technique you use, and how it turns out.
