Honey Mustard Free Range Chicken Thighs With Greens
The best part about preparing free range chicken en papillote (meaning in a closed parcel) is that after cooking, you'll add those warm honey mustard juices to your dressing for added flavour. All Health Hub recipes meet one of these criteria: <600 calories, 3 of your 5/day, or a source of protein.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Cut your waxy potatoes (skins on) into wedges
Trim, then chop your green beans in half
Boil a kettle
Combine your honey and wholegrain mustard in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper – this is your honey mustard mixture
Chop each free range chicken thigh in half
Add the free range chicken thigh pieces to the honey mustard mixture and give everything a good mix up
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat
Once hot, add the coated chicken thigh pieces to the pan, shaking any excess honey mustard mixture back into the bowl
Cook for 3 min on each side or until lightly browned
Cut a piece of tin foil approx. the size of a sheet of A3 paper
Lay the browned chicken in the middle of the foil and pour the reserved honey mustard mixture all over the chicken
Scrunch the edges of the foil around the chicken to form a sealed parcel and place on a baking tray
Tip: Cooking for 4? You may need to do 2 parcels!
Place the tray in the oven for 15-20 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your honey mustard chicken
While the chicken is in the oven, trim, then finely slice your spring onion[s]
Add the potato wedges to a pot of plenty of boiled water with a pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, cook for an initial 10 min, then add the green beans to the pot and cook for a further 5 min until everything is tender
Once done, drain everything and add your cider vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil and the sliced spring onion
Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up
Wash and pat your baby leaf salad dry with kitchen paper
Transfer the honey mustard chicken to serving plates and reserve the warm honey mustard mixture
Mix the baby leaf salad with half of the warm honey mustard mixture (save the rest for later!) in a bowl
Serve the honey mustard chicken with the remaining honey mustard mixture spooned over
Serve the dressed salad and potatoes to the side
Enjoy!
