Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the glaze.
Step 3
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them on a cutting board. Trim off any excess fat.
Step 4
Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 5
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 6
Use a basting brush to coat each chicken breast thoroughly with the mustard-herb glaze, saving a small portion of the glaze for later.
Step 7
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 8
Halfway through baking (around the 12-minute mark), brush the reserved glaze over the chicken to add an extra layer of flavor.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle.
Step 10
Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired, alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
