I was talking about our family outing in another post. This time I’ll tell you about our meal since it has made a hit, with our family, our visitors, their family, and their relatives! I kind of invented the recipe (a gift I inherited from my mom who used to try out recipes on us before publishing them in the Trading Post. She would always write a story about us and then include a recipe. Hey, mom, you should blog your recipes!) after tasting this amazing dish.
Well, dinner was included in our deal. We were given the choices, Cerdo a la Mostaza (Pork with a mustard sauce), Pollo Grille (Grilled Chicken), or Lomito Relleno (Filled Beef Round). Oscar, Gaby and I picked the traditional Grilled Chicken and Brandon (as always) braved it with the new flavored pork dish. The meal was wonderful. Brandon kept commenting on his excellent choice until he could eat no more. The sauce was left over and he passed it over to me to try. I dipped my grilled chicken into the mustard sauce and it was the most amazing flavour! It was so good, both Oscar and I finished our grilled chicken dipping it in his mustard sauce.
Well, Tuesday night, Dan and Elias came over. They are our boy’s friends from baby days. Brandon wanted a SPECIAL meal for his SPECIAL friends (since according to him I only make popcorn for HIS friends). Well, I made “chicken breast a la mostaza” and they ate it in Pita breads. Once again it was a total hit for his friends. Marlene, Dan and Elias’ mom, came just before dinner, so I sent some home with her. She said they practically licked out the Tupperware…it was so good. Then she made a beef stirfry with mustard sauce for her nephew and their family the next night, who also commented on the wonderful flavor. So we have now tried it with Pork, Chicken, and Beef and it is still so good.
Here’s how I made it. I put the chicken in the slow cooker and cut it in strips. I added salt, pepper, onions, pepper and garlic and a squirt of mustard. Cook it for a couple of hours. I saved the juices after it was cooked, added some flour and water, about a ½ cup more mustard and milk (you could probably use sour cream for a better flavor.) I mixed it, and cooked it until it was a little bit thicker and added the chicken again. The kids were eating it out of the pan! It’s now…a family favorite!

Karen, I have not been very homesick at all...until reading your blog. I wish I could have seen the Jesuit ruins with you and eaten mustard chicken!
Yum!! I think I'll try it sometime even though my boys prefer plain, steamed brussle sprouts instead of something with flavor! Thanks for sharing it!
That sounds so yummy! Certainly will try it.
