Steps:

1. Whisk together all the ingredients for the honey mustard sauce. Taste for honey, sometimes honey is not as strong as you think. Set sauce aside.
2. For chicken, slice onion into half rings and layer into bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
3. Spoon some of the honey mustard sauce on top of onions, about a half cup.
4. Cover and bake in a 400 degree oven for about an hour.
5. About halfway through flip chicken over so meaty part of the breast is in the sauce for the end of the cooking time and stays moist.
6. After an hour or when chicken is cooked through, remove from baking dish and let cool.
7. For Sauce: melt butter and olive oil in a pan.
8. After butter, oil, and herbs are combined pour in sauce from the baking dish and let it reduce.
9. While sauce is reducing, pull chicken from the bone and shred, then add to sauce.
10. Cook spaghetti or linguine according to package.
11. Pour chicken and sauce over cooked pasta and toss.
12. Enjoy!
