    Honey Mustard Chicken

    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:

    Recipe using Dijon Mustard

    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.

        Sure. To allow the flavors to come through I’d suggest mozzarella that you hand grate at home (vs packaged which will not melt as well).

      Outstanding recipe. So easy, so delicious! Thank you. Who knew mayonnaise and parmesan could bring chicken to life like this? I used thighs instead of breasts, and they were delicious.
