TBT: Easy Mustard Chicken Recipe

August 20, 2015 By Shannah Coe 6 Comments

Quick and easy recipes that only involve a few ingredients are key to getting dinner on the table during busy weeks. This easy mustard chicken is packed with flavor but only needs a few kitchen staples to get from stove to plate. 

Easy Mustard Chicken is the perfect weeknight meal. It cooks super fast and tastes amazing.

One of the ways this cooks so quickly is by cutting the chicken breast into bite sized pieces. I usually aim for about 1 inch pieces but it doesn’t have to be exact. It also reminds the kids of chicken nuggets so, for the pickiest ones, I can skip the sauce and they are still happy.

For everyone else, you are definitely going to want the sauce. It is so flavorful and really makes the dish. I even double it sometimes so we have plenty.

We usually serve our easy mustard chicken over steamed rice but I’ve also had it with cauliflower rice or just on its own.

    I’m not over keen on mustard, but the wife enjoys it quite a bit, so I’ll suprise her and cook this for her in the coming weeks.

      I am not a huge mustard fan (like on hot dogs or sandwiches) but this has a smoother taste to it. Hope your wife enjoys it!

    Hi – I love quick and easy recipes like this one. Another favorite of my kids is made with a piece of salmon, you brush the mustard over the fish, top it with Durkee’s fried onion rings and bake it for 20 – 30 minutes depending on the thickness. They have been enjoying this dish since they were little. We were walking through the grocery store and a lady was making this and handing out samples.

    I would never have tried a recipe like that – I have no doubt the boys will like this one too! Thanks!
