What's new foodies and friends? Today we will be making a succulent chicken dish. The chicken will be pan fried and the cauliflower will be baked. That means awesome texture and juicy chicken all topped off with a delicious lemon-mustard sauce. It has my mouth watering just thinking about the finished product!
This recipe is versatile. You can add whatever you like to it, meaning you can add more butter for flavoring, toss in some other veggies, or just really play around with this recipe and make it your own. Everyone wins! I'm pretty sure if lemon-mustard sauce isn't your thing, you can tweak it as well, possibly going for Italian flair, or a saltier twist with say, soy sauce or something. As I said before: SUPER versatile.
I'm going to head into the kitchen. I invite you all to join me. I'll see you there!
