This was very good, and a nice hearty meal for a few very hungry folks! I only used 3/4 lb chicken as it was all I had, but I think that was plenty. The Dijon is not overpowering, but it lends a nice tang to the sauce and the potatoes. I have to be honest, though, and say I'm already daydreaming about trying spicy mustard in the sauce...I'm a mustard addict. Not sure I would put it in the potatoes :). Speaking of, I think this would be tastier with real potatoes, but that said I appreciated the quick assembly of the potato flakes. I ended up adding copious amounts of salt and black pepper on my plate, so next time I will probably throw some in with the gravy. Thanks for posting; this is definitely worth making again.
