Ingredients
- 6 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cups Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken thighs in a single layer with olive oil.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, whole-grain mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Place the chicken thighs into the prepared baking dish. Pour the mustard glaze over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Step 4
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 5
After 25 minutes, remove the foil and spoon some of the glaze from the bottom of the dish over the chicken to baste it.
Step 6
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C). Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the glaze has thickened slightly.
Step 7
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for a fragrant touch, if desired.
Step 8
Serve the Sweet Mustard Chicken with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or rice, and enjoy!
