Description
A delicious and easy dish that combines honey’s sweetness with Dijon mustard’s tanginess, perfect for family meals or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Arrange Chicken: After marinating, remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the prepared baking dish. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Season: If desired, sprinkle paprika over the chicken for added color and flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- For a caramelized finish, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch before serving.
Notes
For more intense flavor, marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight. Consider using fresh herbs to enhance flavor.
