I know that the texture and flavor would be compromised, but is there a substitute for the heavy cream? thanks

It would definitely change things, but you could use chicken broth thickened with a roux.

I'd reach for Worcestershire sauce as a substitute for the mustard in this weeknight chicken with creamy mushrooms.

That may sound a bit odd, but Worcestershire has a nice punch to it, adding brightness as well as flavor. In the alternative, I'd add some smashed anchovies + red wine vinegar.

In each case, I'd add with the deglazing water. ;o)

He doesn't like ALL mustards? I understand that yellow mustard is not my preference. But I use either a stone ground mustard or garlic mustard. The flavor is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Perhaps try ßomething other than yellow mustard. Otherwise I would go with a splash of white balsamic vinegar

My husband hates ALL mustard. And can detect the tiniest amounts.

And/or:
• other sour garnishes - sumac, amchur, vinegar;
• other sources of heat - Wasabi, fresh or pickled chiles, a dash of hot sauce.

Or get a new husband, I mean, who doesn’t like mustard?
KIDDING!
Do what Emma says instead.

Haha, mine doesn’t either. Maybe prepared horseradish?

Hi Julie! The mustard adds spice and acidity, so you would just want to replace that in some way. Could be as simple as increasing the black pepper to taste and squeezing some lemon on top just before serving.
