Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Pinch salt and pepper
- 3 tbsp butter
- 6 cloves minced garlic
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tbsp whole grain Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Melt the butter in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 to 60 seconds until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in honey and Dijon mustard, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides, then place them in the prepared baking pan.
- Pour the glaze evenly over the chicken. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Baste the chicken with the pan juices after 15 minutes. Return it to the oven for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 170°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the glaze for an hour before baking. You can also add chili flakes for heat.
