Ingredients
  

For the chicken
  • 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless (about 1.5 pounds)
For the honey mustard sauce
  • 0.33 cup honey
  • 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt fine
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish

Method
 

Prepare the chicken
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. Pound the chicken breasts to an even 3/4-inch thickness.
  4. Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared dish.
Make the sauce and bake
  1. Whisk the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
  3. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the thickest part of each breast reaches 165°F.
  4. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the juiciest chicken, check the thickest part of each breast with a thermometer and remove it once it reaches 165°F. Refrigerate leftovers for 3–4 days or freeze them for up to 3 months. For a gluten-free version, use Dijon mustard labeled gluten-free.
