Here’s a simple and delicious Honey Mustard Chicken recipe that you can easily prepare at home:
Honey Mustard Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the honey mustard mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for best results. Reserve the remaining half of the marinade for later.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil to the skillet. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the used marinade) and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken breasts in the hot skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
- Bake the Chicken:
- Pour the reserved honey mustard mixture over the chicken breasts in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the honey mustard chicken with roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
