Cooking Steps
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel the potato and cut into 2cm chunks. Cut the carrot (unpeeled) into thin half-moons. Trim the snow peas. Finely chop the garlic. Finely chop the chives.
Cook the potato in the boiling water for 5 minutes. Place a colander or steamer basket on top of the saucepan and add the carrot. Cover with a lid and steam until the carrot has softened, 7 minutes. Add the snow peas to the carrot and continue cooking until the veggies are tender and the potato can be easily pierced with a knife, 3 minutes.
While the potato is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper on both sides, then add to the hot pan. Cook, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. Transfer to a plate to rest. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
Transfer the carrot and snow peas to a medium bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Drain the potato and return to the saucepan. Add the butter, milk and the salt, then mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Stir through the chives (reserve some for garnish!).
Wipe out the excess oil from the frying pan and return to a low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the light cooking cream, wholegrain mustard, honey and crumble in the chicken stock (1/2 cube for 2 people / 1 cube for 4 people). Stir until well combined, then return the chicken (plus any resting juices) to the pan and turn to coat in the sauce. Simmer until thickened, 2 minutes. Season to taste.
Slice the chicken. Divide the herby mash between plates and top with the chicken and steamed veggies. Spoon over the honey mustard sauce and garnish with the reserved chives.

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The honey mustard sauce is a clear highlight — rich, creamy, and full of flavour that pairs beautifully with the chicken. The herby mash rounds out a comforting, satisfying meal.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and straightforward recipe to follow. One tip worth noting: cook the chicken first so the veggies stay warm and don't need reheating.
- Suggestions: The mustard can be quite strong, so start with one portion and add more to taste. Several customers also found the sauce on the thicker side and added a little extra cream to loosen it. A few suggested using less honey if you prefer a less sweet result.
- Portions: Some felt there wasn't quite enough chicken, particularly after trimming the thighs — adding an extra thigh or supplementing with your own is an easy fix.
- Chicken cut: Many customers preferred breast over thigh, finding thighs too fatty or requiring significant trimming. Breast works well as a substitute and still pairs beautifully with the sauce.
