Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides lightly with additional salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the honey mustard marinade over them, making sure each piece is well coated.
Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the chicken to help the skinless chicken brown nicely.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an added pop of color and flavor.
Serve with your choice of steamed vegetables or a light salad to keep the meal low-fat.
