   • 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.

2. Cooking:

   • In a large pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil over medium heat.
   • Add the thinly sliced potatoes to the pan and cook until they start to become slightly crisp, stirring occasionally.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Serve:

   • Once cooked, serve the Balsamic Mustard Chicken with Potatoes hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
