Lesley, I made this tonight - it is SO simple and SO delcious! I can't believe how moist the chicken breast is!

LOVED the flavor of the mustard on it, too!

I sprinkled mozzarella cheese on the chicken before putting the mushrooms on top - great!

I served it with sauteed Rainbow Swiss Chard (with garlic and red pepper flakes). Wonderful dinner!

Hi Lee,
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You know, I don't actually like mustard, but Baz made this without telling me there was mustard in it :whistling:... & I loved it too, the ham keeps all the juices in the chicken & we're gonna try it out on the BBQ at the weekend :chef: putting the mozzarella on top yummo!
