Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 304kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 shallot finely chopped
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp chicken stock*
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- 1 1/2 lbs bone-in skin-on chicken thighs OR boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl or glass measuring cup, combine the shallot, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, brown sugar, and chicken stock. Whisk to combine. Set aside until needed.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Generously salt and pepper both sides of the chicken, then sear both sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. (Note: If you use skin-on chicken thighs, place skin side down first.) Pour the mustard mixture over the top of the chicken, then add the rosemary sprigs in between.
- Place in the preheated oven and cook for 25–30 minutes or until cooked throughout. Remove and allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
*For a slightly creamier version, swap the chicken stock with half and half or heavy cream.
STORE leftover Baked Honey Mustard Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To avoid freezer burn, FREEZE the chicken in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge before reheating.
REHEAT in the microwave until warmed through, or use a covered skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or chicken stock to loosen the sauce. You can also warm it in a 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for about 20 minutes, or until heated through.
