Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
Sauce Ingredients:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to precisely 375°F, creating the perfect roasting environment for your chicken breasts.
- Whisk together ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl until the glaze is smooth and well-combined.
- Arrange your 4 chicken breasts in a clean baking dish, spreading them out for even cooking.
- Pour the entire honey Dijon mixture over the chicken, using a brush or spoon to completely coat each piece with the flavorful glaze.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and roast for exactly 25-30 minutes, watching for the chicken to turn a golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it sit quietly for 5 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute and ensuring a tender, succulent bite.
Notes
- Use skinless chicken breasts for a leaner option, but bone-in chicken will also work beautifully with this marinade.
- Adjust the honey to Dijon mustard ratio depending on how sweet or tangy your personal taste prefers the glaze.
- Pat the chicken dry before adding the marinade to help the sauce stick better and create a more even coating.
- For a low-carb version, swap honey with a sugar-free alternative like monk fruit sweetener to keep the flavor profile similar.
