Chicken and Bacon in a Mustard and Cider Sauce

2019-09-12 12:21

This is a fairly lazy meal, particularly if you want to cheat any buy pre-made mustard and cider sauce. Lazy, but tastes good.

You can make it a little healthier by substituting the cream out for something with less fat, though I personally wouldn't skip the lardons as they may be the only reason this is so tasty
