Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken

February 17, 2019 by Amber 8 Comments

Thank you Idahoan® Mashed Potatoes for sponsoring this post. Idahoan® Mashed Potatoes are real potatoes, real easy, delivering homemade taste on demand.

Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken is made on the stove top with a shallot, chicken broth, bit of heavy cream, garlic, dijon mustard, honey, stone ground mustard and boneless chicken breasts served over Idahoan® Mashed Potatoes. Add some roasted broccoli for a simple, yet delicious, family meal any day of the week.

Feeding the family a good home cooked meal every night can feel like a chore at times, regardless if you enjoy cooking or not. I rely on dishes that are convenient with simple ingredients but still taste amazing. Chicken is staple and something you will always find in my refrigerator and freezer because there are so many recipe possibilities. A new family favorite is this Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken served with mashed potatoes.

The Potatoes

Another item that is always is my house are Idahoan Mashed Potatoes. Idahoan Mashed Potatoes are perfect for when you need a side delivering a homemade taste on demand for Real Potatoes, Real Easy. I like to cook them on stove top where you bring a pot of water to a boil, add the potatoes and in a snap you have the perfect side dish any day of week.

Why reach for Idahoan Mashed Potatoes? 

Idahoan Mashed Potatoes are made from 100% real Idaho® potatoes and can be on the dinner table in minutes. Idahoan Mashed Potatoes offer the best taste and texture compared to any other mashed potatoes, even earning the title of “America’s Favorite Mashed Potatoes” based in part on IRI sales data, 52 weeks ending Dec. 30, 2018.

Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken

Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken is made with a sweet base with a that sharp mustard tone. The heavy cream makes the sauce smooth and shallots and thyme add a more complex flavor that is really quite delicious.

Honey Mustard

A good honey mustard has equal parts honey, dijon and yellow mustard. For this Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken, we swapped the yellow mustard for a stone ground mustard for a slightly more subtle taste, better texture and a more appetizing color in the sauce. A whole wheat mustard could also be substituted but may be more difficult to find.

    This was pretty good, my sauce was kind of thin, very flavorful though. May not add the stock next time. Delicious with mashed potatoes and broccoli, will make again, thanks for sharing this recipe!

      Thanks for sharing Crissy! You could thicken the sauce up for sure and still have it turn out nice. 🙂

    Before I got married to my Executive Chef husband, I was a single expatriate living alone on a remote assignment in Turks & Caicos. There was virtually no fast food joint. It meant lots of cooking. So I started buying this powdered potato. Like you, I added lots of cream and butter to make it richer. Good to see you do that here. Sometimes food has to be practical. This makes me want to go out and buy a pack!

      The honey really balances out that little kick from the mustard. I hope you enjoy it Rachel!
