Dijon-Baked Chicken
I loved this. It does taste like curry (which I love) but some people may not. The sauce it made was also delightful and would be great with rice.

Step-by-step
- Unravel thighs to flatten and scrunch together in a large shallow oven-safe pan.
- Combine the following in a small mixing bowl in this order: spices, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and hot chili sauce. Stir. Pour evenly over chicken.
- Flip the chicken around with a fork until each piece is well coated.
- End by making sure the rough side of the thigh is down.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Turn chicken over with a fork. Place in preheated oven. Set timer for 50 minutes.
- About halfway through the cooking time for chicken, I like to flip the chicken over again.
- When the timer rings for chicken, turn off heat but leave it in the oven.
As a busy working mom, I am always looking for ways to make dinner easy and delicious. This Dijon-Baked Chicken recipe is perfect for my family because it is so simple to prepare, and it always turns out great.
The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of Dijon mustard, honey, and spices, then baked in the oven until it is cooked through and juicy. The sauce that forms during baking is absolutely delicious, and it is perfect for spooning over rice or noodles.
I love that this recipe is so versatile. I can use whatever vegetables I have on hand to roast alongside the chicken, and I can adjust the spices to my family's taste. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. I simply shred the chicken and add it to the sauce, and then serve it over rice or noodles.
Here is a little tip: if you are short on time, you can marinate the chicken for a shorter amount of time. Even if you only have 30 minutes, marinating the chicken will still give it a lot of flavor.
This Dijon-Baked Chicken recipe is a lifesaver for busy families. It is easy to prepare, delicious, and versatile. I highly recommend giving it a try!
