Honey Mustard Chicken

I created this Honey Mustard Chicken recipe during a busy phase of my life when I needed simple meals that still felt comforting and homemade. I wanted a dish that tasted warm and rich but did not require complicated steps or expensive ingredients. One day I experimented with honey and mustard because they were already in my kitchen and the aroma that filled my home encouraged me to refine the recipe further. The result was a sauce that tasted both sweet and tangy with a smooth finish that coated the chicken perfectly.

Over time I improved the balance of flavors so it could become a reliable dish for families who want something wholesome and easy to prepare. This recipe represents my goal to make cooking feel approachable and enjoyable for everyone even on the busiest evenings.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place your ingredients on the counter so everything is easy to reach. I like using a Mixing Bowl Set from Amazon because it helps me season everything evenly but you can use any bowl you already have. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and sprinkle paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Pour in the olive oil and mix gently until all pieces are coated.

Step 2

Transfer the seasoned chicken to an Oven Safe Baking Dish. Place it in the oven and cook for approximately 10 minutes. The dish helps the chicken cook evenly but you can use any oven tray that you feel comfortable with.

Step 3

While the chicken cooks prepare the sauce. Add honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, chicken stock and cornflour to a clean bowl. Use a Whisk to combine everything smoothly. If you do not have a whisk you can use a spoon or any tool available in your kitchen. I only recommend this whisk because it makes mixing easier and prevents lumps.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the oven once the first bake is done. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken and coat all pieces well. Place the dish back into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce becomes thick and glossy.

Step 5

Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices settle and keeps the chicken tender.
