Chicken with mustard and wine sauce is a recipe that reflects the fusion of European culinary techniques with typical Latin American ingredients. Originating from French cuisine, this preparation has been adopted and adapted in various Latin American countries, where it is known by similar names that reflect its essence, although with small regional variations. In Mexico and Colombia, for example, it is common to find versions with local influences in the use of spices and side dishes, while in Argentina and Chile it remains more faithful to the French tradition, highlighting the use of white wine in the cooking process.
The use of Dijon mustard, originating from the French city of Dijon, provides a characteristic and slightly spicy flavor that combines perfectly with the tenderness of the chicken and the acidity of the white wine. This recipe is appreciated for its delicacy and the richness of its sauce, which can accompany both informal meals and special dinners.
