Curried Honey Dijon Roasted Chicken

[heart_this] · Nov 6, 2008 · 66 Comments

Curried Honey Dijon Roasted Chicken

I like curries of all sorts and I am constantly looking for new ways to enjoy curry. A while ago I came across a recipe for curried honey dijon roasted chicken that sounded good. It is basically a recipe for honey and dijon chicken with some curry. I had been wanting to try honey dijon chicken as well and I thought that the idea of that amazing curry aroma and flavour could only make it better. I was sold and it quickly made it to my meal plan. Though I liked the look of the sliced chicken breast with the golden brown outside and white inside I decided to go with chicken thighs with the skin and bone as they have more flavour. This chicken was really easy to make; you just have to mix the marinade and let it marinate and then roast it in the oven. Pretty much all of the hard work is in the waiting. The curried honey dijon roasted chicken turned out really nicely. The chicken was moist and tender and full of flavour. I really liked the combination of the curry, mustard and honey and they balanced out well. I garnished the chicken with some chopped cilantro and served it with some coconut butternut squash and sauteed chard with raisins and pine nuts .

    Now that we are on a fixed income, I’m always looking for recipes that use chicken thighs (though we both prefer breats).

    This recipe was excellent. Perfect for a busy nurse like myself to come home and make for her retired husband who puttered about all day. LOL!

    I forgot to tell to that the closet is a terrible place to be. I should know, our son took a terribly long time to “come out” of the closet, due to my husband’s hostilities. But eventually Chuck got over it and Chuck Jr. is living a happy life.

    I made this the other night for my husband and I and it was INSANELY GOOD! I followed the recipe except that I used bonesless, skinless chicken breast, cooked with foil on until the last 15 minutes or so. DELICIOUS!!

    Thanks!
