Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces each
- pinch salt and pepper
- 3 tbsp butter
- 6 cloves minced garlic
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tbsp whole grain dijon mustard
- pinch salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil.
- In a small sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 to 60 seconds until soft but not browned.
- Mix in honey, whole grain Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer the glaze for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper, then place them in the heated baking pan.
- Pour the hot glaze evenly over the chicken in the pan and return it to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Baste the chicken with the collected glaze, then bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 170°F.
- After baking, allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Make sure the pan is properly heated to prevent burning the glaze.
Letting the chicken rest helps keep it moist and juicy.
