This simple Sheet Pan Hot Honey Mustard Chicken and Crispy Brussels Sprouts is that perfect quick, but delicious weeknight dinner. Easy southern style “oven fried” chicken glazed in a sweet and spicy hot honey mustard sauce. Serve this meal with roasted Brussels sprouts cooked right alongside the chicken for the easiest sheet pan dinner. Then add a side of creamy polenta or mashed potatoes for serving. This is a chicken dinner that’s sure to be loved by all. It really gives off that southern charm!
My recipe creating process truly is something I could never fully explain. It’s a process that works so well for me, but there’s really no rhyme or reason to it. The inspiration can come from any source imaginable. Sometimes it can start out as one dish and suddenly change into something completely different.
It’s not an organized process by any means…which is probably why, when it comes to recipe content, my organization skills could certainly be better! It’s hectic, but I’ve found it’s the route that leads me to my best recipes.
And that couldn’t have been more true than with this chicken.
This started out pretty basic, a simple honey mustard chicken. But something didn’t feel that exciting, so did a little more thinking on it.
How could I reinvent your average honey mustard roasted chicken to be even more delicious? A slew of ideas went through my head. So after some back and forth messages with my mom, I landed on a non-traditional, but oh so delicious, honey mustard chicken.
This sheet pan chicken is oven baked and breaded. It’s coated in the sweetest, spiciest honey mustard sauce. Then served up with one of my favorite September vegetables – Brussels sprouts.
I drew inspiration from my oven fried southern hot honey chicken. I use a crispy cornflake breading, which really is key. The cornflakes make the chicken better than any other breaded chicken recipe. The texture and crunch are unbeatable.
I love using chicken breasts for this, but boneless, skinless thighs are another great option.
When the chicken is coated, simply add the Brussels sprouts to the other side of the baking sheet. Roast everything together until the chicken is fully cooked and the sprouts are extra crispy.
As often is the case, the sauce is the real secret to this recipe. Again, I took a lot of inspiration from my southern hot honey chicken. Most of the sauce ingredients came from that dish.
The big difference here is the addition of creamy Dijon mustard, which makes a world of difference. The mustard adds a little tanginess and a little creaminess to the spicy-sweet buttery sauce that’s totally delicious.
It’s also incredibly easy to make, simply mix the ingredients in a bowl, and that’s it. Simple. Simple.
When the chicken comes out of the oven spoon the sauce over each piece, then return the pan to the oven. This allows the sauce to really bake into the chicken.
It only takes a few minutes!
And it really is SO GOOD. The chicken feels fried but tastes even better. And those sprouts become extra crispy and perfect.
For serving, you could easily do rice, but I love a creamy polenta or even mashed potatoes. Both would be very delicious!

This was incredible and so easy and quick to make! I subbed the corn flakes for some bread crumbs and it worked well. Thanks for another amazing recipe!

Hi Teighan,
Is there a good substitute for the corn flakes?
Hey Hillary,
You could also use potato chips in place of the corn flakes. I hope this recipe turns out amazing for you, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan

Hey Michelle,

Which flour would you suggest would be best to substitute the wheat flour for when it comes to texture: coconut flour or almond flour?
Hey there! I would probably suggest almond flour! Hope this helps! xTieghan
Ugh… this was absolutely delicious! The creamy sauce *chef’s kiss* This is my second Half-Baked Harvest meal this week and I am officially obsessed. I loved the Brussel Sprouts and the breading on the chicken. Not a single thing that I would change! Only thing that I would recommend is going with 1 teaspoon of Cayenne if you don’t want it to be overwhelmingly spicy. 1 teaspoon gave just the right amount of kick! So yummy.
Hey Samantha! Thank you so much for trying out this recipe, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Happy Monday ? xTieghan
I love all of your recipes! This one had wonderful flavor….I had some user error…I have a 1960s oven…my oven baked chicken never gets crispy…do u have any pointers on how to fix this?
Hi Kelly! Thanks so much! I would maybe try to turn up the temperature in order to get it crispy! xTieghan
One of the best meals I have made/eaten in a long time! And so easy. Definitely a keeper.
Thanks so much Tatum!! xxTieghan
So easy to make and so so good. We’ve made this with both chicken thighs and jumbo shrimp and both have come out perfect!
Hey! Thank you SO much for trying out this recipe, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! xxTieghan
Yet another GREAT recipe! The honey mustard glaze is amazing! I substituted Panko which I already had in my pantry instead of corn flakes, and used regular flour instead of wheat, cut the chicken breasts in half to enjoy another night. I’m loving these sheet pan recipes, plus my husband is eating more flavorful veggies thanks to you Tieghan!
Hey! Thanks SO much for trying out this recipe, I hope you loved it! xxTieghan
I made this last night for supper with a few minor substitutions to avoid a trip to the store. I was out of smoked paprika and honey so subbed chipotle powder for the cayenne and used regular paprika. I subbed Agave syrup for the honey. It was delicious and even my pickiest eater loved it. We will definitely be adding this to the rotation. Thank you for sharing!!
Hey! Thanks SO much for trying out this recipe, I hope you loved it! xxTieghan
