  • Use a good quality honey mustard sauce: The sauce is what makes this dish, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a sauce that is made with real honey and mustard, and that has a good balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the honey mustard sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to infuse it with flavor. You can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours if you have time.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). If you're not sure if the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This chicken goes well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Honey mustard chicken is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
