a romantic meal for Valentine’s day

Planning a romantic dinner or perhaps you want to impress your other half with a lovely cooked dinner? Nothing simpler, no fancy ingredients required, and the taste is out of this world.

January can be a tough month, pockets are kind of empty after all that Christmas shopping, still trying to get around that healthy eating resolution. And, on top of everything, the weather’s miserable: short, dark days, and too cold. A night in sounds fantastic,doesn’t it? Especially if you want to make it to pay day.I know, long way to go.

But this meal, apart from being insanely delicious, only costs about £6. You really can’t beat that! So, cuddle up on the sofa and enjoy, you are in for a treat!

I love chicken myself, as you can probably tell from the amount of chicken recipes l post. Other chicken breast recipes that would be fantastic for Valentine’s Day are my Baked Spinach-Stuffed Chicken Breast or the Chicken Kiev.

HOW TO BAKE HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

Chicken is a nice and lean meat that cooks well no matter how. And if you choose to bake it, there is no need to worry about the thickness of the chicken, this shouldn’t matter much when it comes to it cooking through, but rather just for the amount of time it needs baking for.

  • preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit)
  • season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and paprika
  • arrange them on an oven-proof dish
  • to make the marinade: mix the wholegrain mustard with the dijon mustard and honey
  • pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it coats it well
  • bake for 30-35 minutes or until it’s cooked through

TIPS AND TRICKS

The sauce is runny, how to fix it?

Note! I found that the best way to keep the marinade from staying on chicken is to sprinkle it with paprika before adding the marinade.

Please see the right-hand size top photo above. It really does the trick, and the sauce is guaranteed to stay where it is supposed to stay rather than ending in the baking dish.

How long do I cook the honey mustard chicken for?

The chicken is ready in about 30-40 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts. I usually cook it for longer, just to make sure it’s cooked ok, undercooked chicken is super bad, so I’d rather be on the safe side.

What temperature do I cook the chicken breast at?

The chicken should be cooked at 200 degree Celsius, or about 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The chicken breast will be beautifully moist, melting in your mouth. And that’s it, a super delicious chicken dinner recipe that never fails to impress.

Recipe Notes
  • Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper and paprika before adding the honey mustard marinade. The paprika will help the marinade stick to the chicken.
  • Add a few tablespoons of water to the baking dish half the way through cooking, this will ensure the chicken stays moist and the edges don't dry up.
