Easy, juicy, and full of flavor, this Honey Mustard Chicken combines sweet honey and tangy mustard for a delicious weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole-grain or yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Optional for garnish: chopped parsley or chives
  • Optional for thicker sauce: 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon cold water

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. Whisk Dijon, whole-grain mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce for basting and serving.
  4. Pat the chicken dry. Place it in a bowl with the remaining sauce and toss to coat. Let it sit for 10–20 minutes.
  5. Arrange the chicken on the pan in a single layer and spoon any sauce over it. Sprinkle herbs if using.
  6. Bake for 18–25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reads 165°F (74°C). Brush with reserved sauce halfway through.
  7. Rest for 5 minutes, then warm reserved sauce. For a thicker glaze, simmer with cornstarch for 30–60 seconds.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with herbs.

Notes

Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking. You can grill or bake depending on preference. Great for meal prep.
