Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 400 F.
- Line a large sheet pan (or divide the chicken and green beans between 2 sheet pans) with foil for easy clean up, or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the chicken on the sheet pan, salt and pepper each one to taste, on both sides.
- In a small bowl, whisk all the sauce ingredients together (honey, both mustards, garlic, seasonings, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil) and brush half of the mixture over the chicken.
- Bake the chicken for 20 minutes.
- While the chicken is baking, toss the green beans with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper.
- After 20 minutes remove the chicken from the oven, flip and brush the remaining sauce over the chicken. Place the green beans on the sheet pan with the chicken or on a separate pan in a single layer.
- Continue to bake the chicken and green beans for an additional 15-20 minutes until the chicken is 165ºF and the green beans are golden brown.

Notes
- Keep in mind the thickness of the chicken will determine the cook time. If your chicken breast is very thin, you’ll only need about 20-30 minutes cook time. If the chicken is very thick you might need up to 45 minutes cook time.
- If you have more time, marinate the chicken in the honey mustard sauce for 1 hour before baking.
- Use boneless or bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of breasts. Reduce cooking time for the chicken to 20-30 minutes
- Keep the chicken moist by salt and peppering the chicken breasts and letting them sit 5-10 minutes before adding the honey mustard sauce and baking. Take the chicken out when the internal temperature is 160º and the temperature will rise to the recommended 165º as they rest, do not over bake.
- Leftover honey mustard chicken breast is excellent over a salad for lunch the next day! Put leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge up to 4 days.
