Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This helps them cook evenly.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and paprika until smooth. This is your marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (for best results, marinate for 2-4 hours).

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Heat a large oven-proof skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush it with olive oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 6

Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken in the skillet, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 7

Bake the chicken for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through for extra flavor.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the G L M Chicken with a drizzle of the pan juices on top. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
