Honey Dijon Garlic Chicken

Chicken is by far the most popular meat in my family; and I am sure it is for most people. Versatile and delicious, some of our favourite recipes are ones like Skillet Chicken Pot Pie, Mississippi Chicken and Potatoes, and Baked Hawaiian Chicken.

I’m always on the hunt for unique chicken breast recipes. Similar to our One Pan Orange Chicken, this recipe is a one pan stovetop chicken recipe that uses a few simple ingredients to infuse some flavour into the meat.

Another is the flavour-packed Skillet Monterey Chicken. YUM!

This Honey Dijon Garlic Chicken recipe was made when I had a couple of Cream of Chicken Soup cans in the pantry that needed to be used up. Knowing we wouldn’t be enjoying it as soup anytime soon, I decided to incorporate it into a recipe. And, I always look to chicken first.

I found a recipe for Mustard Chicken using the soup, yet I immediately knew that it wasn’t for us. My kids and mustard don’t mesh well, and I knew they’d ban together and form a strike against dinner if I opted for a strong mustard recipe.

Combining mustard with honey and garlic provides the perfect blend of sweetness, heat and flavor. Not one is overpowering over the other, yet a balance of taste that makes one heck of a chicken dish.

Better yet, the chicken cooks in the sauce, making it incredibly moist. Thats the first thing the kids and I noticed at that first bite, actually. Moist tender chicken, then the flavour hits.

Rather than baked and just coating the outside, this recipe allows the taste to go right into the meat. YUM!

How Do you Make Honey Dijon Garlic Chicken?

This recipe takes just 5 ingredients, plus water and the optional rosemary sprigs. As long as i have the canned soup I would have all ingredients on hand with no trips to the store, which is always nice and welcome.

Perfect for a fast weeknight dinner, this is a 30 minute recipe that is easily made in one skillet on the stove. We’ve had plenty of busy evenings with appointments and activities, so I’ve been trying hard to make those easy meals so I don’t resort to too many nights of takeout.

Since this recipe can be made in 30 minutes and with few ingredients, it fits well with the schedule and my energy level at the end of the day. Plus you have the bonus of one large pan to wash.
