Ingredients

For the Honey Mustard Sauce

1/4 cup grainy mustard
1/4 cup smooth Dijon mustard
1/2 cup honey
3 tsp extra virgin olive oil

For the Chicken

1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
Salt and pepper, to taste
3-4 small sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions

Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce

In a small bowl, combine both types of mustard, honey, and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Stir until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Sauté the Onion and Garlic

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a sauté pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until golden and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Prepare the Chicken

Place the chicken tenderloins on top of the cooked onion and garlic mixture. If your pan isn’t oven-safe, transfer the onion and garlic mixture into an oven-safe dish and add the chicken. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to your preference.

Add the Honey Mustard Sauce and Rosemary

Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken and arrange the sprigs of rosemary around the chicken.

Bake the Chicken

Cover the baking dish and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes. After this, uncover the dish, baste the chicken with the sauce, and return it to the oven. Continue baking uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened, the chicken is golden, and fully cooked through.

Notes

You can substitute chicken thighs for the tenderloins if preferred. Boneless skinless thighs work great, but bone-in or skin-on thighs can also be used..
For a quicker version, you can skip the onion and garlic steps entirely and simply mix the mustards, honey, and olive oil together. Proceed with the rest of the recipe as directed.
