Need something warm, wholesome, and kind of impressive-looking — but don’t want to bust out six condiments or three pans? This one’s for you.
Honey mustard chicken is a classic for a reason: tangy, a little sweet, and ridiculously easy to whip up when you’re cooking for one. Paired with crisp-steamed green beans, it’s a fuss-free way to eat like you care… without making a thing of it.
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 skinless chicken thigh
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 100g green beans
👩🍳 Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C (fan forced).
- In a small bowl, mix Dijon, honey, and olive oil.
- Coat chicken thigh in the mixture and place in a small baking dish or foil-lined tray.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- While it’s baking, steam green beans until just tender (about 4–5 mins).
- Plate up and enjoy your posh solo dinner like the legend you are.
💡 Plan4One Tips
- Swap it up: No chicken thigh? Chicken breast or even salmon fillet works beautifully with this glaze.
- Don’t waste the sauce: Spoon any leftover glaze from the pan over your beans. Zero waste. Maximum flavour.
- Feeling indulgent? Add a small side of mash or roasted sweet potato.
🍴Why You’ll Love It
- The Dijon mustard adds a little zing to fight off flavour fatigue.
- Honey brings a touch of comfort (without overloading on sugar).
- Green beans are rich in vitamin C and fibre — perfect for immunity and digestion during chilly months.
All up, it’s a balanced dinner that feels comforting and clean at the same time.
