Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This helps them cook evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika until smooth. This is your marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (for best results, marinate for 2-4 hours).
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large oven-proof skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush it with olive oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken in the skillet, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake the chicken for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through for extra flavor.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the G L M Chicken with a drizzle of the pan juices on top. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
