Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set the sauce aside.
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Spoon half of the honey mustard sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully spoon the remaining sauce over the chicken.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken breasts. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
