Substitutions and Ingredient tips
Once you’ve got your creamy mustard Keto sauce, you can really play around with the other ingredients to your liking.
Here’s some suggestions and different things I’ve tried in the past to mix up this Keto one tray bake for dinner.
Chicken Thighs: If you don’t like chicken thigh you could use breast but will have to watch them carefully as they dry out very quickly. I suggest using a meat thermometer. Pork also goes really well with creamy mustard sauces, and a fatty chop or loin would work perfectly.
Cauliflower and beans: I’ve made this with just about any Keto veg that’s been sitting in my fridge. While I always go back to the cauliflower and beans combo, I’ve also used broccoli, zucchini (a bit more watery but still yum!), pumpkin (higher carb but ok in moderation) and even thrown in some potatoes for the family.

Storage tips
- Fridge : Keto Creamy Mustard Chicken One Tray Bake is best made fresh but if you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- Freezer: You can freeze the chicken but since the it has a creamy sauce it might separate when re-heating. Although it’s safe to eat and still tastes amazing, the cream texture wont be as creamy and smooth so I won’t recommend freezing it.

Not sure how to start Keto?
Here’s some resources to help you!
Lemon jelly roll is something I love. Is it possible to keto it? Also a question for you. Someone told me it is not good for a person’s colon to get eating dishes with high psillium content. Do you have any info on that? Really like your site, am new to keto, just into it 18 days. Thanks, Dorothy
Hi Dorothy, I’ll have a look into Lemon Jelly Roll! I don’t think I’ve ever had it.
I haven’t heard about psyllium affecting the colon but I will investigate this further as well.

Absolutely delicious. My partner loved this dish.
This is amazing, delicious, fantastic. Thank you!
Bloody Delish!!!
Bloody Delish!!!
Question, silly me….what is seeded mustard?
Also known as wholegrain mustard – the one where you can see the seeds 🙂
This is delicious! So simple, but full of flavour. Can’t wait to make it again.
Let’s talk about FLAVOUR! Absolutely yum!
I absolutely loved this recipe! I changed out the asparagus for broccoli and it still tasted awesome! Will be making again:))
Yep. This is a winner!
Glad you enjoyed it! You might also like this recipe: https://aussieketoqueen.com/keto-mustard-chicken-rosemary/ you can use thighs as well but it’s a great way to use the leaner chicken breasts and get your fats in the sauce.
Just wondering if the number of thigh fillets is correct. The ingredient list says 6 fillets but the recipe serves 4.
Hi Greg! The macros are counted on 6 thigh fillets to share between 4 people. I generally find 1 1/2 is enough for me, and my husband will have 2 1/2 as he has higher protein needs than me. You can always increase the thighs if you want as well 🙂
Delicious! I added a little butter before first 20minutes and prepared mustard instead of ground… Also used frozen cauliflower and canned green beans…making this again for sure!
Again, just bloody amazing! I did a squeeze of lemon over the top at the end just to lift the heaviness of the cream. Soooo many amazing recjpes, flavour flavour n easy, thanks so much !!
Great idea with the lemon!
This recipe was delicious. I love the browned cauliflower and so did my 8 year old daughter. Will definitely make this again.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks Rachel
This is a great recipe and on high rotation in my household. Tonight I’m serving the chicken with coleslaw and everything came from Aldi so that’s a bonus too.
Sounds delicious!
Bone in or out chicken thighs? Could you use either?
hi Steph! I use bone out chicken thighs. I think it would work with bone in as well, you’d probably need to cook it 10 – 15 minutes longer to ensure it cooks through though.
Easy peasy and yummy – thank you!!
So glad you loved it Zoe! This is a go-to favourite in my house, a great way to get dinner on the table quickly.
[…] Keto Creamy Mustard Chicken One Tray Bake […]
Seriously amaaaaazing! I make this every ten days or so.. I used fresh thyme tonight instead of dried thyme and it was more subtle.. I’m a bit of a heavy handed Harriet with the jar!
This is such a great dish! I use baby carrots sometimes because I like having another color. It’s the quickest and easiest meal to do.. and it is delicious!
👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Karen! I love this dish too, but its been a while since I’ve had it. You’ve inspired me to bring it back into the rotation and get some fresh thyme in there too 🙂
This is one of my “go to” dishes, so easy to prepare and so tasty. After using this dish in high rotation for a few years, I thought I should leave a positive review :)Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time Julie, and you’ve just reminded me to leave some reviews on recipes I use time and time again as well 🙂
