Chicken with mustard and leek - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of mustard?

Absolutely! Dijon mustard or even a spicy brown mustard would work well in place of the grainy mustard for a different flavor profile. Just adjust the amount to taste.

How long can I store leftovers, and how should I reheat them?

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat, or in the microwave, until heated through. Add a splash of cream or broth if the sauce has thickened too much.

I don't have leeks. What can I substitute?

Shallots or thinly sliced onions are a good substitute for leeks. They have a similar mild, savory flavor. You can also use scallions for a milder alternative.

Can I freeze this dish?

While you can freeze this dish, the cream sauce may slightly change in texture upon thawing. To freeze, allow the chicken to cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

What's the best way to ensure the chicken is cooked through?

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.

What sides go well with this chicken dish?

This chicken pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables (like asparagus or broccoli), or a simple green salad.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes, you can substitute the cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative. The flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.

How can I adjust the recipe if I'm cooking for more people?

Simply increase the amount of chicken, leeks, and sauce ingredients proportionally. Make sure you use a large enough skillet to avoid overcrowding.
