Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cups Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken thighs in a single layer with olive oil.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, whole-grain mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken thighs into the prepared baking dish. Pour the mustard glaze over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes, remove the foil and spoon some of the glaze from the bottom of the dish over the chicken to baste it.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C). Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the glaze has thickened slightly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for a fragrant touch, if desired.
Serve the Sweet Mustard Chicken with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or rice, and enjoy!
