Honey Mustard Bacon Chicken Skillet [+Video]

This isn’t your normal one skillet recipe. This honey mustard bacon chicken skillet is healthier for a few reasons but still totally craveable!

Serve up this bold honey mustard chicken recipe with a loaf of crusty artisan bread and a bright, fresh tomato cucumber salad, and you have a winning dinner the whole family will love!

A while back, we made honey mustard bacon brats and let me tell you, they are delicious. Like major good. It’s hard to want a brat any other way now. But as Cade and I were cleaning up dinner he said, “That sauce tastes so good I want to eat it on everything!” and as he snagged one last piece of saucy bacon from the pan to gobble it down before washing the skillet, I had the idea.

This really would be good on anything. Like really. At first I was really going to go to town and make a crunchy chicken but Cade and I are trying really hard to make good eating choices during the week, which is difficult today as I just photographed the best, oh my goodness amazing pumpkin cookies ever and I can hear them calling my name from the kitchen, “Carrian, you know you could have just half a cookie and you’d feel so happy…”

Ingredients for Honey Mustard Bacon Chicken Skillet

Ok, I digress…back to this tasty one skillet chicken recipe! Here are the ingredients you will need:

• Chicken Thighs: You can use boneless chicken or use bone-in. If you use bone-in chicken, it will just need a little longer to cook through.
  • NOTE: Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) also work great with this recipe if you want a more lean dinner.
• Water: helps with the base of the honey mustard sauce
• Honey: adds flavor and natural sweetness
• Dijon Mustard: any brand works great or you could go with spicy brown mustard too if you want a little kick
• Cilantro: adds a bright pop of freshness
• Bacon: because you never need a reason for bacon
• Olive Oil: helps finish off the sauce and sauteing
• Garlic: adds flavor

The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Supercharge your cookout side dish game with this Dill Pickle Potato Salad. Classic tender potato salad gets a glow-up with scandalous amounts of dill pickles, pickle relish, pickle seasonings, and hard boiled eggs.

Pickle Potato Salad

You can use any potato you like to make this potato salad. However, I like to use thin-skinned Yukon Gold potatoes. There’s no need to peel them and the texture stays nice for the salad.

If you use new or white potatoes, you don’t need to peel those either. However, if you choose to use a russet or red potato, you’ll want to peel the potatoes for the best results.

Potato Salad with Dill and Pickles

You’ll need the following ingredients for the recipe:

• Yukon Gold potatoes
• mayonnaise
• dill pickle relish
• dried dill
• salt and pepper
• baby dill pickles
• hard-boiled eggs
• green onions
• fresh dill OPTIONAL

We enjoy a good amount of hard-boiled eggs in our potato salads. If you prefer fewer eggs, or not to have a bit of egg in every bite, feel free to reduce the number of eggs for your tastes.

Blueberry peach cobbler bursts with juicy, fresh peaches and the sweet pop of blueberries under a tender, golden brown cobbler crust. This homey, comforting dessert takes no time to whip up and tastes like pure summer.

Peach Blueberry Cobbler

Nothing will ever beat the experience of biting into a super ripe summer peach and having the juice run down your chin, but this blueberry peach cobbler is a pretty close second.

This cobbler captures the essence of the best of summer produce under a puffy, tender, sweet cobbler crust. Peaches and blueberries are delightful on their own, but combined, they’re even greater than the already appreciable sum of their parts.

It can be served warm or room temperature with a scoop of the most perfect homemade ice cream or a glug of fresh cream. Or it can be served cold, scooped into a bowl for breakfast or even straight from the refrigerator spoonful by furtive spoonful as a midnight snack.

• fresh peaches
• fresh blueberries
• lemons

Citrus Greek Chicken [+ Video]

Simple marinated citrus Greek chicken with a two ingredient sauce. It’s perfect all year round and you only need one skillet to make dinner in 30 minutes!

Marinated chicken is where it’s at! Whether it’s our simple marinated grilled chicken breasts or our smoked marinated chicken thighs, marinating chicken adds so much flavor and tenderness. The marinade for this citrus Greek chicken packs this recipe with outrageous flavor and is so simple!

This citrus Greek chicken looks like something you’d be served in your favorite restaurant, but it’s the easiest recipe ever. However, I’ve got rules so listen up!

Tips for the Best Citrus Greek Chicken

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts should not be overcooked. Ever. Here’s a really simple way to have perfectly cooked, perfectly moist chicken every single time.

I cringe when I hear about chicken breasts in the oven for an hour or a half hour on the stove top. Please, please don’t do that. Your dinners will be 100 times better if you cook the chicken properly.

Marinated meat is an easy way to have flavor without extra calories or effort, but it must have time. We like to marinate our chicken at least two hours or up to overnight. You pick what works for you.

And finally, oil packed sun dried tomatoes should always be in your fridge. They are amazing. The end.

Ingredients for Citrus Greek Chicken

I’m going to list the ingredients for the chicken marinade first, and then the simple 2 ingredient sauce that we will use to pour over the chicken. Here is what you will need:

• Chicken Breasts: boneless, skinless
• Olive Oil: help tenderize the chicken as it marinates
• Orange Juice: If you have the time, juice your own oranges so you have pure fresh orange juice without any added sugar.
• Greek Seasoning: We prefer McCormick brand, but if you like a different brand or want to make you’re own, we’ve included a recipe below.
• Salt: adds flavor
• Pepper: adds flavor
• Garlic: adds flavor

For the Sauce

• Packed Sun-dried Tomatoes: adds texture, flavor and color to the chicken
• Orange Juice: adds bright citrus flavor to the chicken as it cooks

The measurements for all of the ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
