Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, thyme, and parsley, stirring until well combined.
Step 4
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the mustard mixture over the top, using a spoon or brush to ensure each piece is well-coated.
Step 5
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken pieces and cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Step 6
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, then continue baking uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Serve the chicken warm, garnished with extra fresh parsley if desired. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete Whole30 meal.
