Crispy Honey Mustard Chicken Recipes

CRISPY BAKED HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with the oven rack in the upper third. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the dijon mustard, honey and mayonnaise. Set aside.
• Using a meat mallet (or a metal soup ladle), lightly pound the chicken until it is an even thickness. (This will make the chicken cook evenly, and help the sauce and panko topping adhere without falling off.)
• Put the chicken on the parchment lined baking sheet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and top with the honey mustard sauce. Then top with enough panko bread crumbs to cover the top of the chicken. Drizzle the panko bread crumbs with olive oil (to help them get brown and crispy in the oven).
• Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. If the bread crumbs didn't get golden brown enough, you can turn the oven on broil and let it toast the topping for about 1-2 minutes. Really watch it so the chicken doesn't get burnt!
• Let rest for 2 minutes, then serve warm.
• Also, not necessary, but I often double the honey mustard sauce so I can serve it on the side along with the baked chicken as a dipping sauce. So good!

CREAMY HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN WITH CRISPY BACON

Steps:

• In a large, shallow dish, combine the honey, mustard, garlic, oil and salt to taste (not too much salt if serving with bacon as the bacon will add a salty flavour when served). Coat chicken evenly in the sauce. Set aside.
• Heat a nonstick pan (or skillet) over medium heat. Fry bacon until crispy; transfer to a plate. To the same pan, sear chicken fillets on each side in the oil left over from the bacon until just beginning to brown (about 3 minutes per side -- not completely cooked through as we will finish them in the sauce).
• Add any remaining honey mustard sauce into the pan along with the cream and milk. Bring to a simmer while stirring occasionally to mix the favours through the sauce (about 3 minutes), until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a warm plate.
• Pour the cornstarch mixture into the centre of the pan, mixing it through the sauce until it thickens. Place chicken back into the pan; coat with the sauce. Top with the bacon and garnish with parsley.
• Serve over steamed / roasted vegetables for lower cal options. Also great with pasta, rice or mashed potatoes!

HONEY MUSTARD CRISPY CHICKEN WRAP

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts, one at a time in a resealable freezer bag, until about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly beat egg in a shallow bowl. Combine panko crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts in egg until coated, drip off excess, and dip in panko mixture. Press chicken into crumbs until fully coated. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Transfer chicken to pan and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until chicken is brown, crispy and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and cut into strips.
• Honey Mustard: Combine mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, honey and lemon juice in a small bowl. Combine desired amount of chicken, honey mustard, bacon, lettuce, grapes, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions and sliced almonds in tortillas. Wrap up and serve.

CRISPY BAKED HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a food processor and pulse until the garlic is finely minced. Add in the panko, lemon zest, olive oil, and butter and continue to pulse a few times until the breadcrumbs are moistened. Pour the breadcrumb mixture onto a large plate. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey and chicken broth.
• Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towl. Sprinkle with a little bit of salt and pepper. Dip each piece into the mustard mixture to coat on all side, then place skin-side down only in the crumb mixture, pressing gently to make the crumbs stick. Place the chicken on a sheet pan crumb-side up. Press any remaining crumbs onto the chicken pieces. At this point honey mustard chicken can covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated until ready to bake.
• Bake the chicken for 40 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes until the crumbs are browned and the chicken is cooked through. Serve warm.

CRISPY MUSTARD-ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the garlic, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until the garlic is finely minced. Add the panko, lemon zest, olive oil, and butter and pulse a few times to moisten the bread flakes. Pour the mixture onto a large plate. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the mustard and wine.
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle generously all over with salt and pepper. Dip each piece in the mustard mixture to coat on all sides, and then place skin-side down only into the crumb mixture, pressing gently to make the crumbs adhere. Place the chicken on a sheet pan crumb-side up. Press the remaining crumbs on the chicken pieces.
• Bake the chicken for 40 minutes. Raise the heat to 400 degrees F and bake for another 10 minutes, until the crumbs are browned and the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

ONE-PAN HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pat the chicken thighs dry and sprinkle the skin side generously with salt and pepper.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large, high-sided ovenproof skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down. (This may have to be done in batches, depending on the size on your chicken thighs, to avoid overcrowding the skillet.) Sprinkle the underside of the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken skin is golden brown, crispy and easily releases from the pan, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the white wine. Cook, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet, until the harsh alcohol smells burns off and the wine has slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add the frozen onions and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and 2 tablespoons honey mustard. Stir the mixture until well combined and emulsified. Add the mushrooms and thyme leaves to the skillet and stir to coat the mushrooms in the mixture.
• Turn the heat off. Nestle the chicken into the vegetable mixture. Add the remaining tablespoon honey mustard and tablespoon oil to a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Brush the tops of the chicken thighs with the honey mustard mixture.
• Transfer the chicken to the oven and cook until the vegetables are browned and the chicken is 165 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Turn the oven off. Remove the chicken from the oven and add the frozen peas. Stir slightly to submerge them in the sauce. Return the skillet to the oven until the peas are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve, plate the chicken and vegetables and top with the pan sauce.
