Notes

  1.  Cook chicken in batches. Don't over crowd the pan, else the crust will not crisp up. 
  2. After the cream is added, check for salt. The mustard, chicken stock has salt in it. So it is best to check for the seasoning at the end. I have added about 1/4 teaspoon of salt at the end. 
  3. If using low fat cream or half and half, It might curdle. So best is to use high fat Heavy whipping cream.
