Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Whole grain mustard
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spread out.
Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken breasts, coating each piece generously and evenly. If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme over the top for extra flavor.
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).
Optional: For a caramelized finish, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close watch to avoid burning.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain its juiciness.
Serve the honeyed mustard chicken alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
