Our kids always liked this chicken dish, and they are picky, picky. Back then I used to run the mushrooms through the blender so they didn't know they were in there. It worked. This recipe came from The Seattle Times, 1984. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have over the years. We serve this with pasta.

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons dijon mustard

2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lb sliced mushrooms
