Ingredients
 

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard optional, for texture
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, whole-grain mustard (if using), minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  • Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink in the center. Baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through cooking.
  • Optional Broil: For a caramelized top, turn the oven to broil during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
