Baked Lemon Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe

Tender, juicy Baked Lemon Honey Mustard Chicken is an easy, inexpensive dinner that's packed with flavor and can be made ahead of time! 

When it comes to getting dinner on the table, one of my biggest challenges is getting up the energy to make something after working, taking care of the kids, running errands, and doing whatever else needed to be done that day.

That's why I love prep ahead meals like this Baked Lemon Honey Mustard Chicken recipe. It only takes about couple minutes to prep the chicken, and then it just chills until you're ready to bake it.

So, even though there's longer baking time, it only takes about 5 minutes of hands-on prep, which is perfect for busy week nights.

And….most importantly, this baked lemon honey mustard chicken tastes great! It's tender and juicy and so full of flavor! Using bone-in chicken thighs also makes this dish very inexpensive. So, it's a total win-win meal!
