Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs, unseasoned
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. They do not need to be fully cooked. Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared casserole dish.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, and sour cream in a small bowl. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the garlic, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Pour the honey mustard sauce evenly over the chicken breasts in the casserole dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the chicken and sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm alongside your favorite side dishes such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
