Sweet As Honey Dijon Chicken
with Lemony Green Beans & Cheesy Cauliflower “Rice”
- Milk
- Eggs
Chicken breast is a reliable protein but... sometimes it’s not the most exciting, ya know? Well, we’ve got a glossy, deeply flavored sauce to liven up the joint. It has a good dose of honey Dijon dressing since chicken loves honey mustard and the feeling is mutual. Chicken also loves tasty sides (yes, this tender white meat has a lot of love to give!). To round out the meal we’ve got cheesy, garlicky cauliflower rice and roasted green beans with a bright lemony finish. Now that’s something to get excited about!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce (except cauliflower rice). • Trim green beans if necessary. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Zest and quarter lemon.
• Place cauliflower rice in a medium microwave-safe bowl with ½ tsp salt (1 tsp for 4 servings). Cover bowl with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in wrap. Microwave until tender, about 5 minutes. Carefully uncover (watch out for steam!) and set aside. • Meanwhile, toss green beans on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until tender, 12-15 minutes.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Transfer to a cutting board; tent with foil to keep warm.
• Return pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings) and half the stock concentrates. Cook, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until thickened slightly, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat. Stir in honey Dijon dressing and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4). Season with salt and pepper.
• While sauce cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower rice and garlic; cook until garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add remaining stock concentrate and ¼ cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until water has mostly absorbed and cauliflower is tender, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in sour cream, Monterey Jack, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Remove from heat. TIP: If mixture seems too thick, stir in a splash of water.
• Slice chicken crosswise. • Toss green beans with a squeeze of lemon juice and lemon zest to taste. • Divide chicken, green beans and cauliflower rice between plates. Drizzle sauce over chicken and serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Lemony green beans were easy to make and tasted fresh and crisp. The cheesy cauliflower rice was surprisingly yummy and wasn't too bland like we feared it might be. The chicken was flavorful and moist and we really enjoyed the honey dijon sauce that complimented it. We would certainly make this again.
Loved, loved, loved this meal. The cauliflower rice is so yummy. I steamed the delicious green beans instead of putting them into the oven. The honey dijon sauce tied the meal all together. Chicken was tender and tasty. Please add cauliflower rice to more meals or as an option.
First time making cauliflower rice and it turned out great! The honey dijon chicken was delicious and the lemony green beans complimented the meal well.
This was divine! The Dijon sauce over the chicken was wonderful. The cauliflower rice was a nice change opposed to a potato. And the beans were great, we axed the lemon zest, we prefer them sans lemon.
I love so many recipes... but Honey Dijon Chicken might just be my MOST fav: carb smart AND calorie smart and lots of lemon flavor. Sooooo delish! A definite repeat!
The chicken was delicious - we loved the honey mustard sauce. My husband and I were both hesitant about the cauliflower rice - neither of us had ever tried it before. It was surprisingly tasty. The texture was a concern for me before I tried it but I was pleasantly surprised that it was close enough to rice that I didn't mind. Would try it again.
The chicken and sauce was delicious. I enjoyed the cauliflower as it was quite different from mashed potatoes. The lemony green beans were refreshing.
LOVED the cheesy cauliflower rice! Hope to see cauliflower rice in more recipes in the future (doesn't always have to be cheesy). Liked the generous amount of sauce this one has.
I was excited for this meal, but ultimately felt let down. The cooking time for the chicken was way off, and it wound up taking a lot more time to cook the chicken so there wasn't any more pink. By the time the chicken was ready, the green beans were cold, and had shriveled. I found the lemon juice was way too strong on the green beans, so we wound up not eating them all. I was skeptical of the cheesy cauliflower since I don't really like cauliflower, but that wound up being our favorite part of the meal. It would have been nice if the portion of cauliflower had been slightly larger. I wouldn't bother with this recipe again.
This meal was really good, even though I let it sit in my fridge too long and the green beans went bad. I had to used canned, but they were good. (I didn't prepare them like the recipe called for- I just heated them up!) The cauliflower rice was delicious. I would love more of that dish! The sauce was good, but salty and I never even added salt as required. I would definitely order this again.
