Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil.
Melt butter in a small sauté pan over medium heat, then add minced garlic. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds, ensuring it doesn’t brown. Stir in honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper; simmer for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides, then place them evenly in the hot baking pan.
Pour the hot honey Dijon glaze over the chicken breasts evenly.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the pan and baste the chicken with the collected glaze before returning to the oven.
Continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the glaze for a few hours before cooking.
Serve with a side of vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
You can also use chicken thighs if you prefer.
