I like the idea. Its a few carefully chosen ingredients and I love that. But a few questions: why do yo need to pre-boil the chicken? And why does it need cooking so long (40 mins in all?). In my experience chicken breast takes about 20 to 25 mins to cook. Maybe it needs longer so the mustard coating forms a crust?

Great observations. The pre-boil is mainly due to the fact that I do not like cutting raw chicken. (I know, go figure...) By pre-boiling I can just "slap" the chicken on a cutting board and cut it into strips. As far as the long cook time goes, I am discovering I am the master of the "slow cook". I love how the sauce (miso & broth) absorbs into the meat. In addition, many of my recipes are designed to be consumed two days after they are made. That is to say, I eat them for lunch at work. With this in mind, I need recipes that stay flavorful for several days.

So you are correct. If I was cooking this recipe for dinner that night, I would absolutely shorten the cooking time.
