- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with a little olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken, turning to coat each piece evenly.
Arrange the cherry tomatoes around the chicken in the baking dish.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the cherry tomatoes and chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Serve the honey mustard chicken with the roasted tomatoes and spoon some sauce from the baking dish over top if desired.
