Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Honey Mustard Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary (or thyme), salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a smooth glaze.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the honey mustard sauce evenly over the chicken, turning each piece to ensure it is well coated on all sides.
  4. Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through.
  5. Optional Broil for Color: For a deeper golden color and slight caramelization, broil the chicken for the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  6. Rest and Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier texture; adjust baking time accordingly.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Leftover chicken makes for tasty sandwiches or wraps, perfect for meal prep or lunches.
