Chicken in Mustard Sauce


Two of the things I love are chicken and Dijon mustard.  I can eat chicken everyday!
I found this recipe combining two items that are always present in my pantry and added some left over sour cream and white wine.
Another simple and quick recipe!!!!!!
I also found out that mustard a very good source of omega-3 fatty acids as well as calcium, dietary fiber, iron, manganese, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, protein, selenium and zinc. Selenium is a nutrient that has been shown to help reduce asthma, arthritis and certain cancers. Magnesium also reduces asthma and lowers blood pressure.  It also speeds up metabolism and stimulates digestion.
