Description

This Honey Dijon Garlic Chicken is full of irresistible flavors with tender chicken breasts coated in a sweet and tangy glaze. It’s simple to prepare and makes for a quick, healthy meal that the whole family will enjoy!


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 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.
