Cooking Tips

For the most flavorful and delicious Honey Mustard Chicken Foil Packets, please follow my tips below:

Chicken breasts can be substituted with chicken thighs. Seal the foil packets tightly to ensure the chicken and vegetables cook evenly and retain moisture. Taste the honey mustard sauce before adding it to the chicken, and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more honey for sweetness or more mustard for tanginess. Omit the crushed red pepper flakes to make it kid-friendly. Do not overcook the meat. Keep an eye on the baking time, as cooking times may depend on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 73°C (165°F) to ensure the meat is fully cooked.
