Broiled Chicken With Mustard

Submitted by ktdid

"Another quick and easy chicken recipe. It's fun to experiment with different flavored mustards. That can be too much flavor wise with some mustards, so if I'm doing that I put Dijon on one side and the flavored mustard on the other. This was our 1988 Christmas card recipe and remains a favorite."

ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1⁄4 cup dijon-style mustard
