Honey Mustard Chicken is SO fast and easy to make.
This is a ‘lifesaver recipe’ for nights you are short on time BUT still want great flavor!
The end result is a juicy chicken breast with a creamy, slightly tangy sauce and a delicious light crust.
Honey Mustard Sauce
The sauce is creamy and delicious.
The amount of sauce is ample.
I have even added a third split boneless breast to the recipe to stretch it with no problem.
Ingredients
- boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
- Mayonnaise
- Honey Mustard
- Garlic Powder
- Black pepper
- Salt
- Onion Powder
- shredded Parmesan Cheese
The sauce keeps the boneless chicken breasts moist and juicy.
Sweet and tangy honey mustard adds a wonderful flavor.
The Parmesan cheese adds a bit of saltiness and develops a delicious crust as the chicken cooks.
Homemade Honey Mustard
I use store bought Honey Mustard for this recipe. It’s a standard condiment so should be easy to find from your local grocery store.
If you’d like to make it at home with just a few ingredients, here are a few recipes:
This recipe using BOTH Dijon and Yellow Mustard has more ingredients.
Cooking Time for Boneless Chicken Breasts
Cooking time for chicken breasts is very dependent on their size.
Using chicken breasts that are even in size helps ensures the chicken will all cook in the same amount of time.
For large chicken breasts split in this way the cooking time is between 25-30 minutes.
The best way to ensure the chicken is done is by using an instant thermometer.
The chicken should register 165 degrees internally to be considered done for food safety.
The juices will run clear when pierced too.
How to Make Honey Mustard Chicken – Step-by-Step
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
STEP 2: Cut the chicken breast in half lengthwise to form 4 breast pieces.
STEP 3: In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, honey mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
STEP 4: Spread the mustard mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts and place them into the baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan cheese.
STEP 5: Bake for 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F.

Adrianne Spoerlein says
Toni – besides the obvious changes (cook time mostly) what is your suggestion for doing this with a whole chicken? I’m not likely to head out the grocery store for breasts, but I do have a whole chicken in the freezer. Would you do anything differently? I would love to try this recipe!
Toni Dash says
I’ve only made the recipe as written Adrianne. As you suggested you’ll have to adjust the cooking time for the size and type of your chicken. The recipe makes a good amount of sauce so depending on the size of the chicken you may be fine using the volume in the recipe. I’m not sure what the result will be on chicken with skin (if it will be too much, if the skin will cook properly, etc) but no harm in experimenting, right?
adrianne spoerlein says
I’ll think about the skin question. Maybe brown in a skillet before going into the oven. Not sure, but I’ll let you know the results when I try it.
Toni Dash says
Good luck!
