Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the glaze.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them on a cutting board. Trim off any excess fat.
Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring they do not overlap.
Use a basting brush to coat each chicken breast thoroughly with the mustard-herb glaze, saving a small portion of the glaze for later.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Halfway through baking (around the 12-minute mark), brush the reserved glaze over the chicken to add an extra layer of flavor.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle.
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired, alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
