Ingredients
  

Honey Dijon Chicken

  • 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced horizontally (to make 6 cutlets)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
Potatoes & Onions
  • pounds yellow potatoes cut into large cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • cup chicken broth

Equipment

  • Large oven safe skillet
  • Mixing Bowls 
  • Meat thermometer
  • Foil
  • Knife and Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner cutlets. Lightly pound to even thickness for quicker, more even cooking.
  2. In a glass dish, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add chicken to the marinade and coat well. Let sit for 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to overnight.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  5. In a bowl, toss potatoes and onions with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  6. Spread the potato/onion mixture evenly in a large baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Place the raw marinated chicken on top with the marinade. Add in ¼-1/3 cup chicken broth.
  7. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes, until potatoes begin to soften.
  8. Remove foil and continue baking for 15–20 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender and chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Slicing and pounding the chicken breast ensures even cooking and prevents dryness.
  • Potato size affects cook time — cut smaller if your potatoes are large.
  • Always rely on a meat thermometer for doneness, especially when using chicken breast.
  • Chicken thighs can be substituted, but cooking time will vary
  • Optional: If you ever want extra browning, you can sear the chicken first, but this recipe is designed to work perfectly without it.
