Instructions
-
Marinate the Chicken:
- In a shallow dish, combine Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, sliced onions, and 1 tablespoon of canola oil.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cooking:

-
Cook the Chicken:
- Add the marinated chicken breasts along with the marinade into the pan with the potatoes.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
-
Simmer:
- Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the sauce to slightly reduce.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked, serve the Balsamic Mustard Chicken with Potatoes hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
