Why You’ll Love This Honey Mustard Chicken Pot Roast 💛
This honey mustard chicken pot roast combines the sweet and tangy taste of honey with the zing of Dijon mustard. The rich sauce seeps into every bite, balancing perfectly with tender chicken pieces and wholesome veggies like potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. Trust me—this dish will be in heavy rotation all winter long.
Better yet, the chicken thighs and legs stay incredibly juicy while roasting. These cuts are affordable and packed with flavour, making them the real MVPs of this meal. 🙌
Tips for the Best Honey Mustard Chicken Pot Roast 🥔🍯
- Use Skin-on, Bone-in Chicken
For this dish, go for chicken thighs and legs with the skin on. Not only does the skin crisp up beautifully when roasted uncovered, but the bones keep the meat tender and moist. Win-win! 🥳 - Marinate for Extra Flavour
If you have time, let the chicken marinate in the honey-mustard sauce for at least 30 minutes before roasting. This will allow the flavours to really sink in. - Caramelising the Veggies
To take it up a notch, you can pre-roast the carrots and potatoes in the oven for about 15 minutes before adding the chicken. This caramelises their edges, adding depth to the dish. - Pick Your Veg Wisely
While cabbage, carrots, and potatoes are a perfect combo, don’t be afraid to get creative! Try swapping the cabbage for Brussels sprouts or add sweet potatoes for a twist. 🍠
Serving and Pairing Suggestions 🥂🍗
This Honey Mustard Chicken Pot Roast is perfect as a one-dish meal, but you can jazz it up with a few extras:
- Buttered crusty bread or garlic bread on the side for mopping up all that delicious sauce.
- A side of roasted green beans or sautéed broccoli to add some greens.
- If you fancy a glass of wine, Chardonnay pairs beautifully with the honey-mustard notes.
Want to go all out? Serve the pot roast with a dollop of mashed potatoes on the side instead of whole ones for an ultra-comforting vibe. 🥰
Storing Your Leftovers 🧊
This Honey Mustard Chicken Pot Roast tastes even better the next day, as the flavours continue to develop!
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: If you’re making extra, freeze individual portions for up to 2 months. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven when you’re ready to dive back in! 🥶
Pro tip: If the sauce thickens too much upon reheating, just add a splash of stock or water to loosen it up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Just keep in mind that chicken breasts tend to cook faster and can dry out, so check them after 35 minutes to prevent overcooking.
Yes, you can! Place all the ingredients in your slow cooker, cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. To get crispy skin, pop the chicken under the grill for a few minutes before serving. 🔥
If you don’t have Dijon on hand, wholegrain mustard or even yellow mustard will work. Just note that yellow mustard has a slightly sharper taste.
