Honey Dijon Garlic Chicken Breast

There's nothing better than easy to make meals packed with lots of flavours.

Tip 1: It's better to pan fry your potatoes with butter, salt and pepper. I know because I tried it and it has way better flavours.
Tip 2. You can have your kale baked until it becomes a crispy chip or you can have it stir fried. Whichever it is you prefer.

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper to taste

knob of butter
10 pcs baby potatoes, halved
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
Bunch or two of kale toss in olive oil, salt and pepper

Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 400F
  • Whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with honey, Dijon, garlic, oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
  • Reserve 3/4 of the sauce for later.
  • Marinate the chicken with the remaining 1/4 sauce for an hour.
  • Line the sheet pan with foil
  • Spread a little sauce on half part of the foil. Lay the chicken on top of the sauce 
  • Generously drizzle the reserved sauce all over chicken
  • Bake 20 minutes. Add the kale leaves on the other half of the pan and continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • In a pan, fry potatoes in a knob of butter until brown
  • Serve chicken with potatoes and kale chips

My kids love, love, love this dish. The sauce is the key. It kept the chicken moist and flavourful. Granted I took poor shots of the dish, I promise to re-create this with the buttered pan-fried potatoes next time and re-take the shots.

My boys have been asking me to make this again, make again I will :)

Happy Eating!

    I'm No Chef but I love food like it's no one's business.

    I didn't know anything about cooking... frying an egg used to be a nightmare.. until I was forced to learn more... I had my first born... that's when my gastronomic journey started...

    Join me in my food quest.
    Laugh at my embarrassing moments.
    Share my triumphs.

    And if you're brave enough ... cook with me (ooooh scary!), virtually that is, and have the most enjoyable time!

    Welcome aboard
    fellow foodies!
