Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6-8 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure your oven rack is in the center position.
  • Prepare the chicken: If the chicken breasts are uneven in thickness, pound them lightly with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
  • Make the honey mustard glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. The mixture should be smooth and well combined.
  • Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the honey mustard glaze over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece evenly. For the best flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Bake the chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Notes

This baked honey mustard chicken recipe is a simple and delicious family favorite. It’s quick, easy, and sure to please even the pickiest eaters with its sweet and tangy glaze.
