Pollo a la mostaza | Spanish chicken in mustard sauce

This is one of those dishes I promise you will continue to go back to. It’s full of flavour and differently to the French version, in Spain we do it without butter, with less mustard and less cream so definitely healthier and without a touch less of comfort and intensity.
