15 minutes
Chicken in a spicy mustard marinade is an exquisite dish of French cuisine that combines the tenderness of chicken fillet with rich aromas of spices and citrus notes. Its history traces back to traditional meat marinating methods in France, where mustard is often used to add depth to flavor. The marinade made from olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and fragrant ginger gives the chicken delightful spiciness, while parmesan adds a light creamy note. The dish's uniqueness lies in its versatility: it can be served as a standalone hot dish or complemented with fresh vegetables. It is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a bistro-style meal. Serving with cherry tomatoes adds a refreshing touch, while the mild heat of chili pepper enhances the flavor's brightness and richness.
