Notes

Tip
I had leftover risotto in the fridge, so made risotto cakes, which went beautifully with the chicken.
Tip
Not unexpectedly, I have to scrape the ‘bits’ (mustard seeds) off the chicken for the kids to eat it, which they do happily.
Tip
If your kids also have a thing about ‘bits’, then perhaps prepare some chicken separately without the mustard.
