1. Can I use boneless chicken?

Yes! Reduce the bake time to about 25 minutes.

2. What if I don’t have both mustards?

Any mustard works. The combo adds depth, but don’t sweat it if you only have one type.

3. How do I reheat leftovers?

Warm covered in a 325°F oven for 10–15 minutes with a splash of broth, or use the microwave for quick lunches.

The red pepper flakes add warmth, not heat. Skip or double to taste.
