Garlic and Mustard Chicken

*Bellinda*'s Note:

This dish is healthy and delicious and so easy to make. I like to eat it with Amazing Buttermilk Garlic Mashed Potatoes and a mixed salad. Instead of creme fraiche you could use sour cream. And instead of 8 chicken thighs you could use 4 chicken breast halves. You can cook it on the grill or in the oven. I had a hard time listing cooking times, so just make sure the chicken is done and enjoy :)

Made for Fall 09 PAC orphange adoption. Made exactly as the the recipe calls for, this needs no changes at all. One superb chicken dish, made with breasts. I thought I would have leftovers since only two of us, but DGS pigged out on this and licked the platter clean. Thank You for a super keeper of a recipe.

I was really pleased with this dish. It had a really rich, tangy flavor that really complemented the chicken. I had boneless thighs on hand, so I cut the recipe in half and used 3 thighs. I made the marinade in a zip top bag, tossed the chicken in, and let it sit in the fridge for 10 hours, before we grilled it. Grilling only took about 10 minutes, because I used boneless chicken. I have to admit that I forgot the final step of making the sauce to serve over the top, but these were wonderful just off the grill with a side of pasta. This one is definitely a keeper! Thanks for posting.
