Super easy honey dijon chicken simply baked in a pan with the tasty sauce!
I’m a big fan of easy meals and what could be easier than throwing some chicken into a pan, covering it with a tasty sauce and roasting it? This roasted chicken is covered in a quick, easy and tasty homemade honey dijon sauce. Chicken broth is added to the sauce to help make sure that the sauce does cook off and burn on the edges of the pan, this way you will end up with plenty of sauce to drizzle on your chicken and sides! Speaking of sides, you can easily make some while the chicken roasts! For this meal I steamed some broccoli and made some mashed potatoes and the honey dijon sauce was amazing on everything!

I made this for dinner tonight. It couldn’t have been quicker or easier and was so tasty. Cooked it in my oven proof fry pan. Firstly, I brought the chicken, sauce and fresh rosemary to boil on stovetop and finished in oven to make it quicker, so after about 12 minutes in the oven it was done. Thickened it slightly with a cornstarch slurry using about 1/2 tsp cornstarch. I didn’t have regular Dijon so used 4 tbsp. whole seed Dijon instead. Another great recipe, Kevin. Keep up the good work!
I’m confused by whole grain Dijon mustard AND Dijon mustard. The Dijon I know is the Grey Poupon type, I know spicy brown mustard, which has some whole seeds in it, and stone ground mustard – also with whole seeds. But I’ve never seen whole grain Dijon mustard. What is it? How is it different from the Dijon mustard called for? Do I really need it in this recipe? Where do I find it?
The whole grain dijon mustard is there for the presentation and texture and it has the same flavour as the regular dijon mustard so you can either replace it with another kind of whole grain mustard or more regular dijon mustard. Enjoy!
I made this tonight and the sauce didn’t thicken how it should’ve so I had to add cornstarch. I do however wanna add that where the recipe says to use 1/4cup of honey I attempted to but most of it was maple syrup per the sub option. Not sure if that was a factor in the consistency of my sauce but the chicken was tasty af so I will make again!
