Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to fit the chicken breasts in a single layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish. Brush the mustard-garlic mixture generously over each piece, ensuring they are fully coated on both sides.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove the foil, baste the chicken with the juices from the pan, and return it to the oven uncovered. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Sprinkle the baked chicken with freshly chopped parsley for garnish. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an optional burst of freshness.
