These honey mustard chicken cutlets are simple, quick, and most importantly delicious! The first time I tested this recipe my mom told me they were ORGASMIC, LOL. Imagine your mom shouting that across the house. Crazy! But, honestly…these honey mustard chicken cutlets ARE that good. Throwing it back to the days of dipping chicken tenders in honey mustard (so like…two weeks ago for me.)

Honey Mustard Chicken Cutlets – The Details

Pat those chicken cutlets dry and get to seasoning! Lots of garlic powder, salt and pepper, and into the pan they go. But trust me, it gets better. After they’re browned and out of the way, it’s time to make that delicious creamy honey mustard sauce. The tangy mustard mixed with the sweet honey and mellow heavy cream comes together to make the best sauce for this chicken. It’s a perfect balance of sweet and savory. And the best part about this recipe? It’s super easy! It’s a great weeknight dinner, it comes together quickly and packs a big flavor.

My boyfriend and I really love honey mustard, it’s something that we bonded over long before we started dating. So obviously this is a well loved dish not just among my parents but with Phil as well. Even though he isn’t THAT fond of chicken cutlets. But these honey mustard chicken cutlets and so juicy and tender.

Honey Mustard Chicken Cutlets – Cooking The Chicken

Chicken cutlets can overcook and get really dried out so quickly when you cook them in the oven. And I definitely agree with Phil when he says the chicken isn’t his favorite (except in the form of chicken soup apparently.) But this honey mustard chicken recipe? I tested this at least once a week for over a month, and it was perfect from the first test. I just kept thinking it was so easy and so delicious, so I kept making it (and pretended that I need to keep testing it LOL.) But you didn’t hear anyone complaining!

And my secret it super juicy chicken cutlets? Either I’m cooking them in a sauce (like these honey mustard chicken cutlets) or I’m checking them every like two minutes until they come up to temperature. Overcooked chicken is my enemy! I’ll stand there in the kitchen and watch them cook if I have to.

Roasted Cabbage

Cabbage is the perfect addition to this honey mustard chicken. The salty garlicky cabbage mixed with the honey mustard is so delicious! And that’s coming from someone who generally dislikes cabbage. I mean boiled cabbage is on my list of things that I just WILL NOT eat, sorry for any cabbage lovers out there. But if it’s roasted? Oh I’m shoveling that shit in my mouth like a lunatic (I’ll fight you for the roasted cabbage, watch out!)
