This dish of honey mustard chicken with umfino pap by Mogau Seshoene, aka the Lazy Makoti, is just the midweek meal your repertoire needs.
Ingredients:
For the umfino pap:
- 400 g maize meal
- 200 g spinach, finely chopped

Method:
- To make the umfino pap, bring 2 cups of water to the boil in a medium pot. Once boiling, reduce heat and whisk in the maize meal - working quickly to break all the lumps. Stir in the spinach and salt, making sure everything is well combined. Close lid and cook on a low heat for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the chicken. Preheat oven to 180°C. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large pan and brown the chicken. Once browned, remove from the pan and set aside.
- To make the sauce, in the same pan, add more oil and fry the onion and garlic till soft. Stir in the mustard, honey and ¼ cup water. Return the chicken to the pan and bake in oven for 15 - 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and sauce is thick and reduced. Serve with umfino pap.
