A quick and easy one-pan honey mustard chicken dinner that balances sticky sweetness and savory punch, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound (450g) baby potatoes, halved
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs
  • 8 ounces (225g) green beans or asparagus (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Place them in the bowl with the sauce, turning to coat thoroughly. Let sit for 10-15 minutes if time allows.
  4. Halve baby potatoes and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5-6 minutes until skin is golden and crisp. Flip and cook 2 minutes more. Remove chicken and set aside.
  6. Add potatoes to the pan, stirring to coat in the rendered fat and bits left behind. Cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Nestle the chicken thighs back into the skillet on top of the potatoes. Pour remaining honey mustard sauce over the top. Scatter fresh thyme or rosemary around.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and potatoes are tender. If adding green beans or asparagus, add them for the last 8-10 minutes of roasting.
  9. Remove skillet from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Spoon pan sauce over chicken and potatoes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before searing for crispy skin. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F. If skin isn’t crispy enough after roasting, broil for 2-3 minutes watching closely. Avoid overcrowding pan to prevent steaming.
