COOK TIME: 50 MINUTES

SERVES: 4-6

DIFFICULTY: EASY

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 chicken thigh cutlets, skin on
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 3 teaspoons plain flour
• 2 tablespoons wholegrain mustard
• 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ½ cup (125ml) chicken stock
• ½ cup (125ml) Rosella Organic Sweet Chilli Sauce
• Steamed rice and green beans, to serve

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Embark on your culinary journey by preheating the oven to a toasty 200°C (or 180°C for those with fan-forced ovens). Heat a dash of olive oil in a trusty ovenproof pan over medium-high heat, an essential prelude to crafting your masterpiece.
2. Begin the chicken’s journey to culinary perfection by browning the chicken thigh cutlets in batches for approximately 4 minutes each side. This step is essential in establishing that irresistible golden hue and sealing in the savory juices. As each cutlet reaches its golden potential, transfer them to a plate and keep them company as they await their aromatic transformation.
3. Prepare the canvas for the enchanting flavors that await by introducing the chopped garlic to the pan. Allow it to sizzle and infuse its essence for a mere 30 seconds before adding the plain flour—a critical element in creating a velvety texture that will caress your taste buds.
4. In a harmonious union of flavors, blend the wholegrain and Dijon mustards with the sweet kiss of honey. Stir these vibrant ingredients into the pan, witnessing their fusion into a tantalizing mixture that promises layers of complexity and satisfaction.
5. Elevate the symphony of flavors with the addition of chicken stock, a key component in crafting a lush sauce that will envelop each cutlet in its embrace. And then, as the crescendo builds, introduce the star of the show—the Rosella Organic Sweet Chilli Sauce. A mere half-cup of this sauce transforms the dish into a flavorful dance, with just the right touch of zesty heat.
6. Gently return the browned chicken cutlets to the pan, spooning the luscious sauce over each piece. As you do, envision the flavors harmonizing and melding, creating a culinary masterpiece that will soon grace your table.
7. Transition your creation from stovetop to oven, allowing the chicken to bake in the enchanting flavors for 30-35 minutes. During this time, the aroma will fill your kitchen, a promise of the culinary delight that is soon to come.
8. As the timer announces the completion of the transformation, present your Honey Mustard Chilli Chicken with pride. Serve it alongside steamed rice and crisp green beans, allowing each element to contribute to the symphony of flavors that dance on your palate.
