Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional, for texture)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Sauce:
    In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard (if using), olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat the Chicken:
    Place chicken breasts in the baking dish. Pour the honey Dijon sauce over the chicken and brush to coat evenly.
  4. Bake:
    Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Optional Broil:
    Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a slightly caramelized top.
  6. Rest and Serve:
    Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Make it Juicier: Pound chicken breasts to even thickness before baking.
  • Low-Carb Option: Use a sugar-free honey substitute.
  • Add Veggies: Bake alongside asparagus, carrots, or Brussels sprouts.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer Friendly: Freeze cooked chicken for up to 2 months.

This Easy Baked Honey Dijon Chicken is sweet, tangy, and full of comforting flavor. Juicy chicken is coated in a smooth honey Dijon sauce that caramelizes beautifully as it bakes, creating a perfectly balanced glaze.
