For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock. Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard to your preference. Some prefer a more pronounced mustard flavor. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of chicken stock or water to thin it out. This sauce is best served immediately. If it sits for too long, the butter may separate. If this happens, gently reheat the sauce over low heat, whisking constantly, until it comes back together.
