Black pepper is prominent in this succulent baked entree from Jill Morzillo of Louisville, Kentucky. Yet it doesn't overpower the tender chicken flavor or the creamy mustard sauce. "It's easy to make yet elegant," Jill says.

Have made this over and over. I never seem to have white grape juice on hand so I substitute white cooking wine and also don't use quite as much pepper, personal preference. Always tastes great. Son-in-law thinks its super.
