It also has some veggies, some cream, and Worcestershire. I stole the carrots and Worcestershire sauce from a 5-ingredient beef recipe that also called for mustard, but the chicken recipe sounded easier, and creamier.<\/p>\n<p>And aside from some careful stirring, it all worked out really well. My only regret, actually, is that the stone ground mustard was rather mild and I had hoped for it to be stronger. If you love mustard like we do, I recommend getting a stronger mustard or mixing stone ground and Dijon mustards. I liked the way the stone ground looked mixed with heavy cream, but I wanted more of a kick.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, it was a perfectly wonderful and quick two- to three-serving dinner, especially when served with the smashed potatoes my sweetie made in our new Instant Pot. I also thought about serving it with rice, but potatoes were perfect; plus, then I get to have a mashup and smashed potatoes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_632\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-632\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-632\" src=\"http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200103_191418-300x268.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"268\" srcset=\"http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200103_191418-300x268.jpg 300w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200103_191418-768x686.jpg 768w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200103_191418-1024x915.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20200103_191418.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-632\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Easy as pie, but tastes like creamy mustard.
