Apple Dijon Chicken Skillet

Submitted by jessi_mcg

"I found this while idly perusing a cookbook at my sister's house--I'm not sure which book (doh!). This is fairly unique to me, and I think the flavors just work together beautifully. It was just okay as written, but for us mixing in the rice (instead of serving separately) and the addition of 1/2 t salt really made the meal."

Very interesting dish which we really enjoyed. I was able to buy a brown rice/wild rice mix, which I quite liked and am pleased to have found it so that we can enjoy more of this! I would have cooked the apples slightly longer, but DH liked them as was. Overall this was really good, I enjoyed the sweetness from the apples with the tang of mustard, and I enjoyed the texture of the rice. Very nice, thank you smellyvegetarian, this dish was made for ZWT 8
