For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine when deglazing the pan with chicken broth. Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard to suit your taste preferences. For a milder flavor, use a smooth Dijon; for a bolder kick, opt for a coarse-ground variety. To prevent the sauce from curdling, ensure the heat is on low when adding the half and half mixture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream if needed to loosen the sauce.
