Honey and Mustard Baked Chicken Breasts
Sweet and tangy baked chicken breasts coated in honey and mustard, ideal for weeknight dinners or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Optional: Green onions for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a baking dish, place the chicken breasts and pour the honey-mustard mixture over them, ensuring they are coated well.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced chicken drizzled with the remaining glaze.
Notes
Marinate chicken for several hours for more flavor. Add garlic or fresh herbs to the marinade for a flavor boost. Allow resting time post-baking for juicy chicken. To thicken the glaze, reduce it on the stovetop after baking.
