How to Make Sweet Curried Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons margarine, 1 tablespoon curry powder, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  3. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a single layer in an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  4. Pour the honey mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.
  5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  8. Remove the chicken from the baking dish and set aside on a warmed platter.
  9. **Option 1 (reduce on stovetop):** Pour the remaining sauce into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  10. **Option 2 (cornstarch slurry):** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Pour into the remaining sauce in the baking dish and stir well. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or until thickened.
  11. Pour the thickened sauce over the chicken.
  12. Serve immediately over rice or couscous. Enjoy!
