Chicken Dijon Recipe

I wanted to make sure this website has resources for more than just soup recipes. I am, after all, a gal who loves her meats.

This Chicken Dijon recipe is an easy one and the outcome is savory and subtle dish that would be great served over polenta, with mashed potatoes or even just a nice side of green beans or some crusty bread. This batch I made with some lovely Zucchini Ricotta fritters and an AMAZING salad recipe I found that uses summer squash.
