Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Place the chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a silicone brush or spoon to generously coat each piece with the honey mustard mixture on both sides.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Halfway through the cooking time, baste the chicken with the remaining honey mustard mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy with a side of steamed veggies, rice, or a fresh salad.
