Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
920g
1/2 cup honey
170g
1/2 cup mustard
120g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1.55g
1 tsp paprika
2.10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the 4 chicken breasts in a single layer.
2. Make the Honey Mustard Sauce:
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of honey and 1/2 cup of mustard until well combined.
- Add a dash of salt, a dash of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of paprika to the honey-mustard mixture. Stir until all the spices are fully incorporated.
3. Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This will help the sauce adhere better.
4. Coat the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
- Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated. You can also use a brush or spoon to spread the sauce evenly.
5. Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Bake the chicken for 25 minutes covered.
6. Uncover and Continue Baking:
- After 25 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15–20 minutes.
- Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast; it should read at least 165°F (74°C).
7. Serve:
- Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Optional: Spoon some of the excess sauce over the chicken to enhance the flavor before serving.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve the baked honey mustard chicken with your favorite side dishes such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- To ensure even cooking, pound chicken breasts to make them an even thickness before baking.

- Let the chicken marinate in the honey mustard sauce for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

- For a deeper flavor, try using whole grain mustard instead of regular mustard.

- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's fully cooked.

- Serve the baked honey mustard chicken with a side of steamed vegetables or over a bed of rice for a complete meal.

Baked honey mustard chicken is an easy and delicious option for any meal. With a combination of sweet and tangy flavors, it will surely become a favorite in your household. Follow these simple tips and enjoy a perfectly cooked, flavorful dish that is sure to impress.
