Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar optional
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or thyme optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Honey Dijon Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Brush or pour the honey Dijon sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
  4. Bake the Chicken: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Halfway through, baste the chicken with the sauce from the baking dish for extra flavor.
  5. Serve & Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley or thyme. Serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe and juicy results.
  • Let the Chicken Rest: Resting for 5 minutes after baking helps retain moisture.
  • Double the Sauce: Love extra flavor? Make a little more sauce to drizzle over the cooked chicken.
  • Try Chicken Thighs: If you prefer darker meat, boneless chicken thighs work great too—just adjust the cooking time as needed.
  • Grill Instead: This honey Dijon marinade also works beautifully on grilled chicken!
