Curried Honey Mustard Chicken
Made with only 5 ingredients, the marinade for this Curried Honey Mustard Chicken is super simple yet full of flavour for a great weeknight meal.
This recipe was given to me by a friend’s mother about 10 years ago and I have been using is ever since. With only 4 ingredients, this marinade is simple for anyone to make, and can really be used for a variety of different meats. If you are weary of the amount of butter in the recipe, read this blog post, and if you are concerned about the honey, you need not be. When buying honey, try and buy local, raw and unpasteurized honey as it provides a multitude of health benefits, and remember that the entire marinade is for 4 or more servings.
Curried Honey Mustard Chicken
The recipe calls for Dijon mustard, however I sometimes use a combination of Dijon and grainy mustard for extra flavour and texture.

Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup organic butter, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2–4 teaspoons curry powder
- Sea Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a saucepan on low heat, heat butter until melted.
- In a small bowl, whisk together butter, honey, mustard and curry powder. (I use 4 tsp of curry powder because I like spice, however if you’re not a huge fan of spice you can use 2 tsp. curry powder or omit it all together.)
- Arrange chicken in a baking or casserole dish, and season lightly with a pinch of sea salt.
- Pour mixture over chicken and allow to marinade 1-2 hours. You can also cook it right away, but the flavours blend together better after sitting for a little while in my opinion.
- Pre-heat oven at 350°F and bake chicken, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!

Awesome! So happy to hear it, and happy that you enjoyed it 🙂
I enjoyed it, but next time I will use less honey. Found it a little sweet, but loved the addition of curry to the honey mustard flavour. (used 4 heaping teaspoons)
Wonderful, so happy to hear it! I love to add a little extra curry too 😉 Thanks for sharing!
