Instructions
Creating Baked Honey Mustard Chicken involves just a few simple steps. Follow these instructions for a successful dish:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Clean and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Mix Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, and olive oil. Whisk until well blended.
4. Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken in a baking dish. Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
5. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 75°C).
6. Glaze: For extra flavor, baste the chicken with sauce once during cooking.
7. Rest the Chicken: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Following these steps will yield a juicy, flavorful chicken dish that’s hard to resist.
