Preparation

What You Need

8 skinless chicken thighs or drumsticks or

4 breasts (bone-in)

3 tbsp (45 ml) cornstarch

1 1/2 cups (375 ml) milk

3 tbsp (45 ml) Dijon mustard

2 tbsp (30 ml) liquid honey

1 tsp (5 ml) salt

1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried thyme or

basil

1/4 tsp (1 ml) pepper

2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Butter a 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) glass baking dish.

If using chicken breasts, cut in half. Place chicken in baking dish. In a bowl, whisk cornstarch into milk; whisk in mustard, honey, salt, thyme and pepper. Pour over chicken, turning to coat.

Bake for about 35 min, turning chicken and stirring sauce twice, until chicken is no longer pink inside and sauce is bubbling and thick. Place chicken on serving plates. Stir sauce in dish and spoon over chicken; sprinkle with parsley.

Tips

Cooking Tip:
For a more elegant presentation, substitute 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts for the bone-in pieces (do not cut). Reduce baking time to about 25 min.

For the Adventurous: Substitute spicy brown mustard or other flavoured mustard for the yellow or Dijon. Replace dried thyme with 2 tsp (10 mL) chopped fresh thyme.
