Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Honey Mustard Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and brush the honey mustard mixture generously on both sides, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated for maximum flavor.
  3. Bake the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the chicken uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the glaze has beautifully caramelized.
  4. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices before slicing or serving whole for the juiciest results.

Notes

  • Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness to promote even cooking and tenderness.
  • Marinate the chicken in the honey mustard sauce for 15-30 minutes before baking for enhanced flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked perfectly without drying out.
  • Broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking for extra caramelization.
  • Spoon leftover glaze over the finished chicken to boost flavor.
