It’s a full meal all made in one pan, including potatoes, carrots and flavourings, which means you can throw it all in together and leave it, and there’s hardly any washing up after dinner. You know I sing the virtues of one pan dinners a lot, and this chicken with honey and mustard sauce is just another one of my simple, easy favourites that requires not a lot of thought, effort or ingredients. Tray bakes are nothing fancy, but they are exactly what we need for a whole, nutritious, quick family dinner that everyone will think tastes amazing. They are perfect for those busy evenings when you’re juggling picking the kids up, doing homework, getting ready for clubs, sorting the laundry out, watering the plants, contemplating sitting down for FIVE minutes maybe?! They can also substitute a roast dinner at the weekend if you have the will but not the time or energy!

Can you freeze Honey Mustard Chicken? This might be a little tricky but it’s doable, as long as you haven’t already frozen the meat. It would be best to add the chicken and the honey mustard marinade into a dump bag, then freeze without the veggies. This will give the dish a different consistency (less ‘saucy’) but the chicken will be delicious. Or you could make some fresh sauce when cooking. This is French mustard. It gives the sauce a subtle creaminess. Don’t substitute for English mustard! Your nose and taste buds would get a shock. This gives the sauce texture and ‘bite’. If you don’t have any you can leave it out but the flavour won’t be quite as good. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
