Description

Honey Mustard Chicken and Potatoes is an easy one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken thighs baked in a sticky honey mustard sauce with tender roasted potatoes. Sweet, tangy, and savory all at once, this recipe delivers maximum flavor with minimal cleanup — perfect for weeknight dinners or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on or off)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 pound baby red potatoes, quartered
  • 8 ounces green beans, halved (optional)
  • 1–2 rosemary sprigs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry, then season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs for 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Drain excess fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons of pan drippings for flavor.
  4. Add minced garlic to the same pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in honey, wholegrain mustard, Dijon mustard, and water, mixing well to create the sauce.
  6. Add the quartered potatoes to the pan, coating them evenly in the honey mustard sauce.
  7. Simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and slightly thicken the glaze.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (165°F / 74°C) and potatoes are tender.
  9. Optional: Add green beans during the last 15 minutes of baking and return to oven.
  10. Remove from oven, spoon the sauce over the chicken and potatoes, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Sear chicken before baking for extra crispiness and flavor.
  • If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth or water.
  • Substitute wholegrain mustard with spicy brown or extra Dijon if preferred.
  • Check the oven temperature to prevent honey from burning.
  • Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving for the best texture.
