What is Whole30 honey mustard chicken?
Whole30 honey mustard chicken is an easy sheet pan recipe made with chicken, vegetables, and a delicious sauce. The faux honey mustard sauce is made with dates rather than honey, so it contains no added sweeteners and is Whole30 compliant!
This Whole30 honey mustard chicken is one of those meals that I can count on everyone in my family enjoying. Even if you’re not following the Whole30 diet, it’s a great recipe for busy weeknights when you don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen.
My family’s favorite Whole30 recipe
Here’s why we all love it:
- It’s delicious and filling.
- Just arrange the meat and veggies on a baking sheet, and pop it in the oven. Fewer dishes mean easier cleanup.
- The honey mustard sauce has no added sugar, which feels good, regardless of whether you’re on a sugar-free journey or not.
Using dates instead of honey adds more than enough natural sweetness to the sauce, so I really don’t feel like I’m missing anything. All you have to do is soak the dates, then blend them with the other sauce ingredients while the chicken and veggies are cooking.
This honey mustard chicken is a complete meal on its own, but pairs well with other Whole30-friendly side dishes like roasted turmeric cauliflower, winter green salad, or vegan green bean casserole with our magic mushroom sauce.
Enjoy this Whole30 honey mustard chicken for dinner, and pack up any leftovers for lunch the next day. It’s the meal that keeps on giving!
