Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon chicken seasoning blend
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
½ teaspoon white vinegar
⅛ teaspoon paprika
4 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sear the chicken: Warm 1½ tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with your seasoning blend and brown them for around 2 minutes per side, until they develop a golden crust.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ tablespoon olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, wholegrain mustard, white vinegar, and paprika until well combined.
- Transfer to baking dish: Place the seared chicken in the prepared baking dish. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken, flipping each piece to coat fully.
- Add herbs: Nestle the rosemary sprigs between the chicken breasts.
- Bake covered: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Bake uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Rest and serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This resting time helps the juices redistribute for a more flavorful bite.
Notes
Chicken thighs can be used—just extend cooking time.
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
Try maple syrup instead of honey for a twist.
Let chicken rest before slicing for juicier results.
