Over the years the once unassuming mustard has now become a staple in British home cooking. A whopping 80% of Brits admit to having at least one jar of mustard in their kitchen, with almost half using two different types depending on their mustard mood.
No longer simply dolloped on side of plate or squirted onto a burger, Dijon mustard has confidently made the leap from condiment to ingredient in the hearts and stomachs of the nation, according to new research from Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard.
Over a third of Brits regularly use mustard when cooking and almost half are more than happy to experiment, using it in a recipe that does not list it as an ingredient.
Here are some recipes to try:

How to Butterfly a chicken breast
Place the boneless chicken breast on the cutting surface with its skin side facing downward. If the piece has any tenderloin -- a small piece of connected meat and tissue -- tear it away from the breast. Turn the breast back over and position it so that its tip is facing you and the thin side faces opposite of your cutting hand.
Place your non-cutting hand on top of the breast. Insert your knife into the thickest part of the breast. Using a sweeping motion, slice into the breast until the knife reaches the middle. Make sure that the knife is cutting through two equal thicknesses of the breast.
Place one hand on a side of the cut chicken breast and open it like a book. If the breast does not lay flat on the cutting surface, slice the inside of the breast slightly.
