Honey Mustard Chicken is a delicious 30-minute meal that has a tangy, creamy, and bold honey mustard sauce on top!

Creamy honey mustard chicken served on a plate with broccoli as a side dish.


Let me tell you something that I love. Quick, easy, and on-the-table meals that are ready in 30 minutes. Life has become so much busier with my husband’s work schedule and a newborn. But I still like to have a home-cooked meal for my family. Sometimes home-cooked meals consist of macaroni and cheese and corn dogs, but hey, that’s just life now. 🙂 I love to cook, and it’s so rewarding when I make a delicious meal that my family loves.

Honey Mustard is one of my little boy’s favorite sauces. I knew that he would love this creamy Honey Mustard chicken meal. The honey mustard sauce is made with heavy cream, which gives this sauce a creamy, delicious taste. It is really unique. Tangy, sweet, and bold, which gives the chicken a delicious flavor. Picky eater and family approved. This meal was delicious! If you love honey mustard as much as my kids do, try my Honey Mustard Pork Chops next!

  1. Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious. Everyone loved it and it was so easy… thanks so much!

  2. This recipe was delicious, however it was also liquidy even though we followed the recipe to the tee. So to thicken it up we added cornstarch. in a separate bowl we mixed 1 tbspoon of cornstarch with 3 tbspoons of COLD water, mixed until starch is dissolved then added to the pan before returning the chicken. worked like a charm thickened up so fast 🙂 just a helpful tip for those who have the same problem 🙂

  3. This was delicious! I used six boneless chicken breasts and doubled the sauce ingredients. Didn’t double the honey as the 3 Tablespoons made it sweet enough. Added the chicken broth after the wine. Served this over egg noodles. The men in my house loved this recipe! I’ll be making this again!

  4. This was really yummy, a nice subtle hint of flavor. However, my sauce was not creamy at all, it was totally liquid. I’m not sure what I did wrong, I measured everything accordingly and followed the steps.

    1. same thing happened to me, the sauce was liquid and I didn’t even add the chicken broth .. BUT! I added two tablespoons of flour and it got creamy! so next time try what I did 🙂

  5. Can you recommend a substitute for the white wine? We just don’t keep it around and the recipe sounds delish! Thanks! 🙂

  6. Just found your blog and I love it!! I have already made two things from your suggestions since Sunday! I made this recipe and it turned out great! In the ingredient list you mention the chicken broth, but it isn’t in the instructions down below. I used the Pioneer Woman link provided to find out where to include it! No worries, just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed your recipies! =) Look forward to many trying many more!

  7. Hi you mention chicken broth but cannot seem to find it added in the method.
    Can you advise
    Can’t wait to make it… looks delicious and simple
