Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat.
Step 5
Pour the honey-Dijon mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the skillet.
Step 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (if desired) and serve warm. Pair with rice, steamed vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
