    What Is Honey Mustard Chicken?

    Honey mustard chicken is just what it sounds like - it is chicken coated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce.  For this recipe we use a shortcut, by using salad dressing as the base.

    What Do I Need To Make This Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe?

    You'll Need:

    • oil
    • chicken breasts
    • BRIANNAS  Dijon Honey Mustard Dressing
    • brown sugar
    • soy sauce
    • water
    • cornstarch
    • steamed broccoli
    • hot cooked rice, or mashed potatoes

    Ingredients for honey mustard chicken.

    Let's Chat BRIANNAS

    We have been long time fans of BRIANNAS and have been incorporating their dressings into our recipes since the very beginning of our blog.  Some posts like our Avocado and Lettuce Salad, Buffalo Chicken Nachos, and California Roll Sushi Bowl star their dressings.  I remember when I was introduced to their Rich Poppyseed Dressing, I was converted for life. Their Dijon Honey Mustard Dressing is just right for this recipe because the combination of bright dijon mustard and sweet honey is the perfect companion to the flavors in this meal.

    BRIANNAS  began in Austin, Texas, where they made their dressings in small batches in a little family kitchen. They have grown to become a world-class brand and so many love their delicious dressings, myself included.  Be sure to check out their store finder to know where you can pick up their Dijon Honey Mustard Dressing for this recipe.

    How Do I Make It?

    This is a perfect weeknight dinner because you're done in about 30 minutes!  I love the simplicity, yet bold flavor this meal delivers.

    1. Set your pressure cooker to sauce and add oil.
    2. Once your oil is heated, brown both sides of chicken breasts.  Work in batches.
    3. In a medium bowl combine honey mustard dressing, brown sugar, soy sauce, and water if your dressing is thick.
    4. Whisk until well combined.
    5. Pour sauce over brown chicken in your pressure cooker.
    6. Cook on poultry setting for 15 minutes, allowing a natural release.
    7. Remove chicken from the pot.
    8. Set pot to saute. Combine water and cornstarch - whisk into sauce and cook until thickened and bubbly.
    9. Serve chicken over rice or mashed potatoes with additional sauce.

    Pro Tip #1 If dressing is thick, add ¼ cup of water too thin.

    4. In a 5 qt slow cooker, spray crock with non stick spray. Place seared chicken breasts in crock, and cover with honey mustard mixture.
    5. Cook on low for 6 hours.
    6. Remove chicken and let rest.
    7. Transfer remaining liquid to a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
    8. In a small bowl whisk together corn starch and water. Add to saucepan and stir until thickened.
    9. Slice chicken. Serve over hot cooked rice and a side of broccoli.
    Top with additional sauce.

      I'm making this for General Conference sunday dinner. So excited! It doesn't say, but should I cook this on high pressure or low pressure in my instant pot?
