Notes

  • Chicken breast halves: It's important that you use the thinly slices halves, rather than full chicken breasts in this recipe. Chicken breast halves are sometimes called thin-sliced chicken breast halves or something similar.

    Full-sized breasts won't cook in the given time.  There is a tip to make DIY chicken breast halves under the "recipe tips" section above the recipe.

  • Chicken broth: I prefer to use reduced-sodium chicken broth so that I can better control the level of salt in the recipe. You can use regular broth, if you prefer. 
  • Mustard: If you can't find stone-ground (or don't want to buy it), you can use a brown mustard or Dijon mustard.
