Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Creating Honey Mustard Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
4. Arrange Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts in a baking dish, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Baste: Halfway through cooking, baste the chicken with the marinade for extra flavor and moisture.
7. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color before serving.
