Looking for a chicken dinner with a little bit of bold flavor? This Honey Curried Chicken is an easy chicken dinner with only 6 ingredients and 10 minutes prep time.
I think that most people think that since I cook a lot and I write a food blog, my family will automatically eat anything and everything. Which is unfortunately so far from the truth.
The truth is that I have 3 kids with varying levels of pickiness, and a husband that claims to like everything, but is actually picky in his own right.
There are some things that I know will be ok – like pizza, tacos, or most pastas. But outside of that, I can pretty much guarantee that there will be at least one person at the dinner table that doesn’t want to eat. So I decided awhile back that there is just no way to please everyone. And since I’m the one that is cooking, I will get to make what I want. Most of the time, I’ll try to find recipes that will be eaten by at least the majority of my family. But sometimes I just want something that I want. Even if I know it won’t go over well with the rest of them.
This Honey Curried Chicken is one of those recipes. While going through a recipe box that I have from forever ago that holds lots of handwritten recipes, I found this chicken recipe. Curry flavors don’t always go over well in my house, but I love the flavor. And I loves how easy the recipe looked. Plus, I’m always a sucker for sweet and savory recipes ideas. So I knew it needed to be made.
I actually made this quite awhile ago, and just came across the photos hiding on my computer. I know it may not look like a lot, but if you are like me and are always on the lookout for recipes that are not only easy, but ones that very little hands on time, you will love this recipe. And you can’t beat the bold sweet and savory flavors going on here!!
I served this Honey Curried Chicken over noodles, but I think it would be so good over mashed potatoes. That sauce is golden. You do want to make sure that you don’t overcook your chicken. I have found that no matter how long I’ve been cooking, properly cooking chicken breasts is so hard to do. So it’s helpful if you have a good thermometer on hand to make sure you don’t take it too far. (I just bought this one, and can’t wait to try it out. But I’ve heard nothing but good about it!)
Even though this takes a bit of time to bake, I think it is a perfect weeknight meal because hands on time is so minimal, and cleanup is pretty easy as well. And even though I thought no one else would like this chicken recipe but me, everyone actually ate some! Maybe I can slowly train them to be curry lovers… 😉

- Place the chicken in a large baking dish in as much of a single layer as possible. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour.

Each chicken breast should be about 5-6 oz. If they are larger, you can cut them in half lengthwise, making 2 thinner pieces.

Oh my gosh! We LOVE our Thermapen! Thermoworks reached out to us a few years ago to try out the thermapen and thermapop and do a review on them and we just love love love them! We use it for everything – you won’t be sorry!
And Josh and I love curry, so I’m going to have to try this recipe. My kids have varying degrees of pickiness too. Grace doesn’t like shrimp or mushrooms much, but Eden does. It depends on Christian’s mood what he likes and Josh won’t eat meatloaf, but all 3 of my kids love it! Hahaha! Cooking for a brood is always interesting, but glad you made something for you. I think you deserve it 😉
YUM. This looks like perfect comfort food but also a little different, so it takes me a little bit out of the box!
Right there with you regards the kids and their pickiness! I call it the ‘Dinner Lottery’. It can be fairly soul destroying! This looks so good though, I’m willing to try the Dinner Lottery for this. I actually think it’ll go down well 😀
I came across this post and was so excited for something different to do with my chicken. I actually used to make this over 30 years ago and completely forgot about how much I loved it. While putting the honey and mustard together I my curry was empty, but no worries, if this happens you can mix Coriander, tumeric, and a couple other spices to get the mix. It’s in the oven now and I cannot wait to taste it! Thanks for sharing.
