MUSTARD CHICKEN WITH RADISHE

If you have half an hour to spend on dinner, this is a brilliant way to use the time. A new take on a chicken dinner is always welcome, and I love how spicy and clever this dish is. The combination of mustard and radishes will wake up your tastebuds, though I love radishes in any and all forms. (My personal favorite is radishes with butter and sea salt on toasted brioche – heaven!) And how can you not love a recipe that requires you to open a bottle of wine to make it? A little in the chicken, a little in you… It’s classic American food: simple, straightforward, and scrumptious.
