I really love soft, tender, chicken with a crispy outside. This Crispy Honey Mustard Chicken is full of flavor and healthier than most crispy chicken.
It came together in a matter of minutes and tasted just amazing. I was shocked at how delicious and moist the chicken turned out. If you are looking for a fast and simple main dish, that is also healthy, this is definitely a recipe you need to try.
It’s full of flavor, and only requires a little bit of time to throw together. Your family is going to love this one, I promise. And did I mention it is only five simple ingredients? I mean come on, it doesn’t get any easier than this recipe.
Ingredient Notes
Easy Mustard Chicken Ingredients:
- Honey mustard dressing
- Salt and pepper
- Corn flake crumbs
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts
How to make Crispy Honey Mustard Chicken
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, combine honey mustard dressing, salt, and pepper; remove 1/3 cup and set aside.
- Place corn flake crumbs in another small mixing bowl.
- Dip each chicken breast into dressing mixture, then coat in corn flake crumbs and place in prepared pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Drizzle remaining dressing mixture (the 1/3 cup that was set aside) over chicken breasts and serve.
Storing and Other Tips
Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can reheat in the Air Fryer to crisp it back up.
How to keep your corn flakes from getting soggy:
There is a small secret to keeping your cornflakes from getting soggy on the bottom. Here is how you do it:
- Place a metal cookie cooling rack on your cookie sheet.
- Place your chicken tenders on the cookie cooling rack. This will allow the juices to fall, and your chicken won’t cook in them, making them more crisp and less soggy.
- Bake as directed. You can rotate them to evenly cook them. Broil for one minute at the end, to ensure extra crispiness.

We made these for dinner tonight. They were really good, except we had a little problem with the cornflakes being a little bit soggy. We liked them enough that we would like to improve on them and make them better. Do you have any suggestions as to why ours turned out soggy or how to keep this from happening?
Made it per recipe, it was just delicious. My chicken is always dry and this was a hit! I feed my family with almost all of your recipes and have loved them all!
