Apple-Mustard Chicken Recipe.
On top of the flavor, the rough texture of the coarse-grained mustard gives the chicken a rustic look and a nice crunchy topping. This would be perfect with a bowl of simple vegetable soup, and the leftovers are good on top of a salad (they already have some dressing baked right in; what could be more convenient?)
