Easy Honey Dijon Baked Chicken
Easy Honey Dijon Baked Chicken is just 5 basic ingredients and 10 minutes to prep and results in a tangy, flavorful dinner that everyone will love!
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ½ tablespoon coarse ground mustard
- 1 - 1 ½ tablespoons honey
- ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 ½ lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400. Coat a large baking dish (a 9x13 glass baking dish will work, too) with cooking spray.
- Combine mustards, honey, olive oil and rosemary in a small bowl and mix well. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Season chicken strips generously with salt and pepper. Place chicken strips in prepared baking dish. Spoon honey mustard sauce over chicken strips and spread out evenly.
- Bake at 400 for 25 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Mustards - I love using a combination of Dijon mustard and coarse grain mustard for the flavor and texture. You could use all Dijon if needed.
Chicken - We're cutting the chicken breasts down into strips for easier, quicker baking - and eating! Plus, they get more fully coated in the sauce. You can also leave your breasts whole, but you'll need to add 5-10 minutes to the cook time.
Rosemary - This is my favorite herb to go with the flavors here. It adds a big earthy punch and holds up well. You could also try thyme if you'd rather.
Serving ideas - Serve with baked potatoes, mashed potatoes or oven fries. Or serve with white or brown rice or even polenta with extra pan juices drizzled over top. Add a steamed or sauteed veggie or side salad and dinner is done!
Leftovers - Leftover honey Dijon chicken, once cooled, can be stored in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 4-5 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through. (Be sure to save the pan juices and reheat the chicken strips with some of that sauce; it helps keep the chicken from drying out.)
