I love this dish. It's a riff on a dish my mom use to make. She would braise some cabbage and make chicken with cream of mushroom soup and dijon mustard over top and serve them side by side. I modernized it by using whole ingredients adding the cheese and serving it together. Whenever I serve it it disappears.
