Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup green beans
- 1 cup baby potatoes, halved
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your chicken cooks evenly and develops a nice golden color.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup of honey and 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will be your marinade and glaze for the chicken.
- Take the 4 chicken breasts and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste. This will enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet.
- Sear the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. This step adds flavor and helps to lock in moisture.
- Once the chicken is seared, pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Add 1 cup of halved baby potatoes and 1 cup of green beans to the skillet, arranging them around the chicken. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute in the chicken.
- Serve the honey mustard chicken with the roasted baby potatoes and green beans. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top for extra flavor.
Tips
- Marinate for Extra Flavor: If you have time, consider marinating the chicken in the honey mustard mixture for a few hours or overnight. This will enhance the flavor and tenderness of the chicken.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh green beans and baby potatoes will elevate the dish’s taste and texture. Look for vibrant, crisp vegetables for the best results.
- Sear the Chicken Properly: Don’t rush the searing process. Allow the chicken to develop a golden-brown crust, which adds depth of flavor and helps keep the chicken juicy.
- Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This guarantees that it’s cooked through while remaining moist.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap out the green beans and baby potatoes for your favorite vegetables, such as carrots or bell peppers, to add a personal touch to the dish.
- Serve with Extra Glaze: Drizzle any remaining honey mustard glaze over the chicken and vegetables before serving for an extra burst of flavor that will have everyone coming back for seconds!
