Description
This Honey Dijon Chicken is a flavorful dish that’s easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 3 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Transfer the marinated chicken breasts to a baking dish (retain leftover marinade for basting if desired). Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Baste with leftover marinade halfway through cooking if desired.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing to keep it tender and juicy.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or over a bed of rice.
- Adjust marination time according to your flavor preference.
