Easy, flavorful and absolutely delicious, my honey mustard chicken and broccoli skillet is what weeknight dinner dreams are made of.
With almost a million views on Instagram, countless shares and saves, this dinner is clearly trending for a good reason! It’s easy, attainable and delicious.
I love creating meals with familiar flavors and mustard is such a great base for the start of any great meal. I love dijon salmon and thought that it would be just as great on chicken.
Ingredients you need for this dish:
Chicken thighs, bone in
Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika
Broccoli, chopped into florets
White onion, chopped
Garlic paste
Milk
Beef broth
cornstarch
dijon mustard
Honey
Olive oil
This would work just fine with white meat but the juciness of the dark meat is undeniable here. Because we fininsh the honey mustard and broccoli skillet in the oven using dark meat pieces almost gurantee’s that the meat won’t dry out.
One of the biggest compliments I’ve gotten about this dish is that the kids love it! I think it’s because of the sweetness from the honey. Broccoli is also a kid friendly veggie and works really great in this dish.
The sauce is really a dream and good enough to enjoy all by itself. Okay, I’ve done enough talking, let’s jump right into the recipe, shall we?
