CTBF~MPK: Chicken with mustard

It is official, for several die hard members at CtBF, (but not me 😑), we reached the end of the journey with David Lebovitz's My Paris Kitchen, and closing the book with the chicken dish featured on its cover, 

Chicken with mustard. 

A chicken dish with Dijon mustard, and mustard seeds.  And if you don't have mustard seeds you may use grainy mustard instead,  which I did. I also made do without the bacon, and used only one whole leg since I was cooking for one, me! An onion, dried thyme, paprika, Chinese cooking wine in place of white, cream, and chopped herb for garnish. Simple ingredients, but aromatic and delicious! 

(Recipe from pgs 168-171)

I enjoyed this with some five grains rice,  and stir fried French beans. 

I did not make most of the desserts from the book as we had drastically reduced our sugar intake due to both our 'getting into our old age' state 😅.  My most memorable (because it was recent) dish from MPK has to be the quick and simple Shakshuka from pgs 153-154, which could be eaten any time of the day

(for me!)
