Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season each side with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat, but keep the chicken in the skillet.
In a small bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, and whole-grain mustard. Whisk until smooth.
Spoon the honey mustard sauce evenly over the seared chicken breasts in the skillet.
Top each chicken breast with shredded mozzarella cheese, dividing it evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken for garnish before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
