Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish, ensuring they fit in a single layer.
Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated. Use a spoon or brush to spread the mixture evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce slightly thickens.
Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken for a burst of color and added flavor.
Serve the chicken hot with the remaining sauce drizzled over the top. Pair with rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
