Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined. Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat.
Pour the honey-Dijon mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (if desired) and serve warm. Pair with rice, steamed vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
