Mary Berry’s Honey Mustard Chicken combines juicy chicken thighs (or breasts) with a savory, tangy honey mustard sauce. The sauce is made with a balance of Dijon mustard, honey, and cream, creating a dish that is both rich and slightly tangy, with a hint of sweetness.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, and honey to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for a minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
Pour in the double cream, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and well blended. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, spooning extra sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
