Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a silicone brush or spoon to generously coat each piece with the honey mustard mixture on both sides.
Step 4
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Halfway through the cooking time, baste the chicken with the remaining honey mustard mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 5
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
Step 6
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy with a side of steamed veggies, rice, or a fresh salad.
