Chicken in mustard sauce with asparagus
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. I'm used to frying chicken in soy sauce. But this recipe caught my attention, so I decided to try making a piquant mustard sauce and didn't regret it! To prepare chicken with mustard sauce and asparagus, you'll need two chicken breasts, asparagus (fresh or frozen), and a grill pan (preferable, but not mandatory). The chicken turns out juicier and more golden brown when cooked on a grill pan. Be sure to check it. The dish is ready to serve.
