Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, honey, chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large ovenproof skillet.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Do not fully cook as the chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken breasts in the skillet, coating them evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve with your choice of heart-healthy sides such as steamed vegetables or a quinoa salad.
