Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 pound baby carrots
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.25 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and brush the honey mustard mixture evenly over the chicken.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, or if using a baking dish, place it directly in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the glazed baby carrots. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the baby carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Step 8

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the carrots and pour in the chicken broth. Stir well to coat the carrots in the glaze.

Step 9

Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the glaze has thickened.

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the honey mustard chicken alongside the glazed baby carrots. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
