Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs With Spring Veg Recipes

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine Dijon mustard, grainy mustard, honey, soy sauce, tarragon, and ginger in a large bowl. Rinse chicken thighs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Add chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to a baking pan and spoon sauce over the thighs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Spoon sauce over chicken thighs and serve.

HONEY & MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SPRING VEG

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, mustard, garlic and the lemon zest and juice. Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs and season.
• Put the chicken, skin-side up, on a large baking tray, then dot the new potatoes in between them. Drizzle the oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with sea salt. Roast in the oven for 35 mins until the chicken skin caramelises and is charred in places.
• Add the spinach and peas to the roasting tray. Return to the oven for 2-3 mins until the spinach has begun to wilt and the peas are hot and covered in the mustardy sauce.

ROASTED HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN THIGHS WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken thighs and mix to coat with marinade.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add carrots, cover, and steam until carrots start to soften, 5 to 10 minutes. Use tongs to transfer carrots to a bowl and set aside. Add asparagus to steamer basket plus more boiling water if necessary. Steam asparagus until almost tender, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Add to the bowl with the carrots.
• Meanwhile, heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter and let butter melt. Add marinated chicken and cook until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Add steamed carrots and asparagus to chicken in the skillet.
• Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and roast until chicken thighs are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

HONEY-MUSTARD AND CURRY CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Flatten chicken thighs and squeeze tightly into a square baking dish.
• Combine honey, mustard, curry powder, and salt in a bowl. Spoon over chicken. Sprinkle tarragon on top.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 50 minutes, basting occasionally with the honey-mustard sauce. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Cut the chicken with the bone into two inch pieces (use a good sharp knife or kitchen shears). Mix together the flour with 1/8 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour.
• Using a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil until hot. Add the chicken pieces and cook about 2 minutes per side until the chicken has a nice golden exterior. Transfer chicken to plate.
• Using the same skillet, add the red onions, green peppers, lemon zest, sage, garlic and remaining salt and pepper to the pan. Give a quick stir to scrape some of the bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the chicken broth, mustard and honey and bring the liquid to a low boil. Add the reserved chicken to the pan and cover. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables have softened.
• If you like a thicker sauce, bring the pan up to a boil and add a slurry of the water and cornstarch. Stir frequently until the sauce is bubbly and thick, about a minute or so.
• I like this with bulgar but rice, white or brown, would work well.

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place an 11x17-inch baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine butternut squash, carrots, parsnip, sweet potato, and red onion in a large bowl; add 2 tablespoons olive oil, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and stir to coat. Spread vegetable mixture in a single layer onto the warmed baking sheet from the oven.
• Roast vegetables in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; stir and continue roasting until tender, about 15 minutes more.
• Pound chicken to 1/2-inch thickness on a work surface; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper to taste.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a bowl.
• Pour chicken broth and wine into the same skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, about 2 minutes.
• Stir honey and mustard into wine mixture; add chicken and turn pieces until coated. Serve chicken alongside roasted vegetables.
