Chicken Dijon

A very easy to make chicken dish that is good enough for company. This is a long time family favorite that I got from an old Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. The lemon pepper makes it. You can saute a chopped onion with the chicken instead of the powder if you wish, but the powder honestly works better. You can also add more mustard to make it taste more dijon-y.
