Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 cups (crumbled) Butter crackers (like Ritz)
• 2 tablespoons (melted) Butter
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides, then set them aside.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth. This will be your honey mustard glaze.

Step 4

Place the crumbled butter crackers in a shallow dish and drizzle the melted butter over them. Toss to combine, ensuring the crumbs are evenly buttery.

Step 5

Brush one side of each chicken breast generously with the honey mustard glaze, then press that side into the cracker crumbs to coat. Turn the chicken over, brush the other side with the glaze, and coat with crumbs again.

Step 6

Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't touching for even cooking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, for a complete meal.
