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, isn’t it? Especially if you want to make it to pay day. I know, long way to go. But this meal for two, 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!Why not save the recipe for Valentine’s Day?

It’s the perfect recipe for a romantic meal, it looks posh and will get you lots of praises. I love chicken myself, as you can probably tell from the amount of chicken recipes l post. And even my husband liked the meal, and he’s not really into eating meat of any kind.

If you wonder how to make the honey mustard chicken marinade, I have to tell you that it is super simple. The best honey mustard sauce recipe to keep the chicken nice and moist while baking in the oven. No mess, no fuss, sheer perfection! Let’s get the oven on now, we’ve got an easy recipe for dinner to prepare.

No wonder this recipe is so popular, it’s a great family favourite, even little ones love it. I for one can’t have enough of chicken dishes, and enjoy trying out different recipes from different cultures.

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.

This dish has become a family favourite, and so did my Lemon chicken, Sweet and sour chicken or Orange chicken.  always a big hit in my family and I cook them often. Give them a try, I hope you’ll enjoy them too! After all, chicken is the most popular meat all over the world.

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).

2. Grease an oven-proof dish with the oil or butter and place the chicken in there.

3. Season well with salt, pepper and paprika.

4. In a small bowl, combine the dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard and honey.

5. Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts and bake in the oven for about 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken.

6. You may add 1-2 tablespoons of water in the pan if needed to prevent the edges of the dish from browning if there is not much chicken juice released during cooking.

7. Once the chicken is cooked through, squeeze lemon juice over and serve with broccoli spears.

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.
