This yummy, creamy mustard chicken is a midweek dinner winner. It’s mild enough that even fussy eaters will enjoy it, but flavourful enough to keep things interesting. Enjoy it with rice or mashed potato and some veggies on the side. - Greer Worsley

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
1/4 cup plain flour
30g butter
2 tbs olive oil
100g bacon, diced
1 small brown onion, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed
300ml cream
1 tbs honey
2 tbs mild English mustard
1/2 tsp Massel* Chicken Stock Powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder

*Massel is recommended by Australia's Best Recipes

Method

Step 1

Slice chicken breasts horizontally into two thin slices. Season well on both sides with salt and pepper, then dust lightly in flour.
Step 2

Melt half the butter with half the oil in a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Brown the chicken pieces on both sides, then remove to a plate.
Step 3

Add bacon to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Step 4

Wipe out the frypan and return to medium heat with remaining butter and oil. Cook onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add cream and bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Whisk in honey, mustard, stock powder and turmeric. Return chicken and bacon to pan and allow to simmer for 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
