Really Easy And Good Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe

This incredibly simple recipe delivers BIG on flavor! Juicy honey mustard chicken, baked to perfection, with a luscious, abundant sauce. It's amazing served over rice! For extra depth of flavor, we recommend browning the chicken pieces (in butter, salt, and pepper) beforehand – this step reduces cooking time and creates a richer sauce. You can brown the chicken in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake. Optional: Add a tablespoon of fresh minced garlic to the sauce for an extra punch! Prep time excludes optional chicken browning.
