Baked Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe

This simple and delicious baked honey mustard chicken recipe combines the sweetness of honey with the tanginess of mustard for a perfect balance of flavors. It’s easy to make and great for a cozy meal.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Fresh rosemary or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.

3. Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated. You can reserve a little sauce for basting during baking if you like.

4. Bake the Chicken: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, baste the chicken with the sauce in the dish, and continue baking uncovered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

5. Broil (Optional): For a golden, caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.

6. Garnish and Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh rosemary or parsley if desired.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side salad for a complete meal.
