Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, minced garlic, and olive oil until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Use a spoon to spread the sauce if necessary.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the sauce is bubbling.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides like rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
