Creamy Mustard Baked Chicken is a simple recipe that’s ready in 30 minutes. Chicken breasts are baked in a creamy garlic mustard sauce, resulting in a flavorful and juicy dish! Serve with roasted vegetables or over noodles!
This recipe could not get any easier. I found this recipe from none other than Ina Garten, but she makes it with fish instead of chicken. I have tried both, and I prefer using chicken.
Lately, the chicken recipes I have made have unfortunately resulted in flavorless, overcooked chicken. I wanted to create an EASY, flavorful and juicy chicken recipe that’s quick enough for a weeknight meal. This is the perfect recipe!
That’s probably why dinners like my One-Pot Marry Me Chicken Orzo and Lemon Chicken and Rice Soup have become such favorites around here too.
You can prepare this dish ahead of time and bake when you’re ready to eat.
Simply follow the directions below – season chicken breasts, whisk sauce together and pour over chicken, then cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
I LOVE recipes that allow me to prepare ahead of time. I can make it early in the morning or during my kiddos’ nap time, and don’t have to worry about making dinner during the 5:00 witching hour. Recipes like my Roasted Chicken Dinner save me for the exact same reason. Ya feel me?
I served this with broccoli, but it would also be delicious over noodles. The sauce is so flavorful and should be soaked up in something! Crusty bread would also be good for dipping!

- 3 chicken breasts, sliced in half to make 6 thin chicken breasts
- 8 ounces creme fraiche
- 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon drained capers
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper and place in a 9×13 baking dish.
- In a bowl mix together the rest of the ingredients and pour all over the chicken. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Broil for 5 minutes to get some color on the top – this step isn’t necessary but it makes it look pretty! Garnish with parsley. Serve with a roasted vegetable or over noodles.
