Baked Honey Mustard Chicken

Baked Honey Mustard Chicken

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup smooth dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup grainy, coarse mustard
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2-3lbs chicken thighs or tenderloins
• salt
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded, de-veined, and sliced
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• sliced almonds (optional)
• chopped flat leaf parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F. In a small bowl, combine the mustards, honey, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
2. In a skillet, add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add the onion and pepper and saute over medium heat until the onion is golden and tender (about 5 minutes). Add the garlic and saute for an additional minute (or until fragrant).
3. Transfer the onion and garlic to an oven-safe casserole dish and place the chicken on top. Salt and pepper the tops of the chicken to personal preference.
4. Pour the honey mustard mixture on top of the chicken, and arrange the rosemary sprigs around the chicken in the pan. Tightly cover the baking dish with foil.
5. Bake the chicken for 20 minutes, then remove the foil. Baste the chicken with the sauce, then add almond slices and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes uncovered, or until the chicken is cooked through. Garnish with parsely.
6. Enjoy!
