Why This Chicken with Honey Mustard Recipe Works
This Baked Honey Mustard Chicken has sweet and sour tastes that stick to juicy chicken breasts, making a delicious meal with little work. The best part? It only takes a few things and less than an hour to make from the store to the plate.
Things You Will Need
The first step to success is getting your items together:
- Six chicken breast halves without the skin or bones make a great base.
- Just salt and pepper to bring out the natural taste of the chicken.
- To make the sauce, dried basil, paprika, and parsley are added to a mix of honey and mustard to make it smell nice.
How to Bake Chicken with Honey Mustard
This meal is both simple to make and very tasty:
- Begin by preparing the oven and pan. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Put the chicken breasts in the baking dish and add salt and pepper to taste.
- To make the sauce, combine the honey, mustard, basil, paprika, and parsley in a small bowl with a whisk. This is where the magic takes place!
- Put the sauce on. Spread half of the honey mustard mixture over the chicken and ensure it covers every piece.
- Please put it in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. After that, turn the chicken over and brush it with the rest of the sauce. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
How to Make the Best Honey Mustard Chicken
Make sure cooking is even: If the chicken breasts are thick, it might help to pound them until they are all the same thickness.
If you want the flavors to intensify, you can put the chicken in half of the honey mustard sauce and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
Look at the temperature: It is done when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into the deepest part of the chicken and reads at least 165°F (74°C).
Ideas for Serving
Your choice of side food will go great with this chicken dish. Here are some ideas:
- This dish is healthy and light. It goes well with a fresh green salad or steamed veggies.
- Comforting Carbs: To soak up the sauce, serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or quinoa.
- Dip fresh rolls or toasted bread in the extra honey mustard sauce.
Keeping and Heating Up
- Put leftovers in a jar that will not let air in. Refrigerate for up to four days.
- You can freeze the cooked chicken in sauce for up to three months longer.
- Please put it back in the oven or microwave to warm it up again. If you use the microwave, cover the dish to keep the chicken wet.
