Growing up, there was a French bistro in our local mall called Le Bistro Cafe. You walked through the line, selecting your entree and sides cafeteria-style, choosing from a selection of really good dishes compared to the other food court options. My favorite was the honey mustard chicken over rice. When something sparked that childhood memory, creating the chicken recipe became a priority.
This creamy honey mustard chicken recipe, inspired by that French bistro in the mall, was a success! The one-pan recipe took almost no time to prep and was on the dinner table in about 20 minutes. This high-protein chicken dinner that made me say "oh, la, la" will be on dinner repeat.
To make this French-inspired recipe you only need a short list of ingredients. Here is your shopping list for this easy copycat recipe: cooked chicken breast (read about the health benefits of protein), green onions (scallions), butter, red bell pepper (check out the health benefits of red bell pepper), flour (all-purpose or gluten-free), chicken broth, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder and evaporated milk.
Serve the tangy, slightly sweet, saucy chicken over rice, noodles or your favorite grain or pasta. I served mine over basmati rice with some fresh broccoli as a side dish. I hope you say "oh, la la" after taking your first bite!
