Poached Chicken With Grainy Mustard Sauce Food

ONE-PAN CREAMY MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

Cook until browned on one side, then flip once and brown the other side, about 10 minutes total. (If necessary, brown the chicken thighs in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.) Transfer the chicken to a plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
