This mustard chicken is a nourishing, anti-inflammatory take on the classic French dish, entirely gluten-free and dairy-free, yet full of depth and flavor. It’s designed for healing without compromising on taste.

Made with chicken thighs or chicken breast, this dish is rich in tryptophan, an essential amino acid that plays a vital role in the production of serotonin, melatonin, niacin, and nicotinamide. These compounds are key to maintaining balance in the gut-brain axis, supporting both emotional well-being and digestive health.

Mushrooms, another star ingredient, are known for their antioxidant-rich, immune-boosting, and anti-inflammatory properties. Together with the mustard sauce, they create a creamy texture—without using cream—making this a perfect comfort meal that aligns with the Eat Burn Sleep anti-inflammatory lifestyle.

Every ingredient is carefully selected to support gut health, reduce inflammation, and provide the body with essential nutrients. The creamy mustard sauce is flavorful yet light, enhancing the chicken and mushrooms without overwhelming their natural taste.

This dish is beautifully paired with steamed broccoli, sweet potato mash, or quinoa, creating a complete meal that delivers fiber, vitamins, minerals, and slow-releasing energy. It’s ideal for lunch or dinner, especially when comfort and healing are needed most.

Whether you’re managing inflammation, looking to boost your mood naturally, or simply wanting a nourishing meal, mustard chicken offers both pleasure and purpose on your plate. It’s proof that healing food can be satisfying and full of flavor.
