Honey Mustard Chicken And Potatoes One Pan

The sweet and savoury flavour combination of honey mustard chicken makes this one of my favourite recipes to date! This recipe was born from a craving for honey mustard and a spare tray of chicken thighs. After throwing some things together and continuing to add ingredients – voila! The perfect honey mustard chicken recipe was born.

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN MARINADE

While I’ve made great chicken dishes in the past, like our Crispy Lemon Chicken and our Creamy Dijon Chicken, this recipe seems to rise above the rest for one specific reason – the sauce! After lathering the chicken in the marinade and popping it in the oven, that’s when the magic happens. The chicken will then begin to release its natural juices which will bind with the sauce. This will leave you with a delightful savoury-sweet flavour and a pleasant kick from the mustard. If you’re a fan of our Honey Mustard Salmon or our Baked Chicken Breasts in Honey Mustard Sauce, you’ll love this dish!

INGREDIENTS

Like I said before, this recipe was born from an unused tray of chicken thighs and a hankering for honey mustard. Within minutes, I had this masterpiece! What made this recipe possible was the fact that the ingredients needed are usually things you’ll already have stowed away in your fridge and pantry.

Chicken thighs – bone-in with skin on or off. I personally prefer skin on for a crispier texture. Honey – your favourite honey or whatever you have in the cupboard Wholegrain mustard Dijon mustard Garlic – minced Baby red potatoes – quartered Garlic powder – for seasoning the chicken Salt and pepper – to taste

HOW TO MAKE HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

If in the past, you’ve opted for pre-made honey mustard marinade, I’m about to convert you! This recipe is as easy as it is delicious. One of my favourite things about this dish is the complete lack of dishes to clean, because I only use one pan. All of our garlic, liquids, vegetables and meats all cook together which is what gives the sauce so much of its flavour. First thing’s first – season your chicken. Once you’ve seasoned your chicken, sear it in a hot pan for a few minutes on each side. This is what I believe is the secret to perfect chicken: searing the skin until it’s brown and crispy. Then we throw our garlic into the pan with the chicken, allowing it to cook in the remaining chicken juice before throwing in the rest of our ingredients. Then we transfer our pan to the oven to finish cooking until our chicken is no longer pink the centre. Yep, that easy! That’s why this recipe is perfect for home cooks of all skills levels. Before you know it, you’ll have a tangy, salty-sweet dish to add to your weekly dinner rotation.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

The great thing about this particular dish is that it already comes with potatoes. Our honey mustard chicken and potatoes are all cooked together in one pan, allowing the potatoes to soak up all of the flavour from the sauce. That’s liquid gold, right there. I do like to add a little greenery to my plate so I normally pair the chicken and potatoes with Buttery Sautéed Green Beans, Grilled Asparagus or a crispy green salad like our Balsamic Avocado Chickpea and Feta Salad.
