Honey Mustard Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Mixing and Coating
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the cut chicken pieces and trimmed green beans to the bowl, then toss gently until they are evenly coated with the sauce.
Baking
- Spread the chicken and green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F/74°C) and the green beans are tender-crisp. For extra browning, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully.
Serving
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately, garnishing with fresh parsley or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
You can adjust the amount of honey and Dijon mustard to your taste. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
