Description
Honey mustard chicken is a flavorful, easy dinner with tender baked chicken breasts smothered in a rich, creamy, sweet and tangy sauce. A perfect weeknight meal!
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 inch thick)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
¼ cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
¼ cup honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 tablespoons salted butter (cut into 1 tbsp slices)
Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9×13 (or smaller) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Pound chicken breasts to an even ½ to ¾ inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, honey, and garlic powder.
Pour half of the sauce into the bottom of the baking dish. Place seared chicken on top, then pour the rest of the sauce over the chicken.
Top each chicken breast with a tablespoon of butter.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
