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 the oven to 425°F and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, ensuring there’s space around each chicken breast.
- Melt the butter in a small sauté pan over medium heat and add minced garlic, cooking it gently for 30 to 60 seconds without browning. Stir in honey, whole grain Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper; simmer for one to two minutes until it slightly thickens.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Remove the hot baking pan from the oven and place the chicken inside, spaced evenly.
- Pour the hot honey Dijon glaze over the chicken breasts. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan and baste the chicken with the collected glaze. Place it back in the oven for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
