Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
-
1/4 cup honey
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
Salt, to taste
-
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken, turning gently to coat each piece.
Bake uncovered until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Halfway through baking, spoon some of the sauce over the chicken to keep it moist and flavorful.
Notes
For extra depth of flavor, allow the chicken to marinate in the sauce for up to 30 minutes before baking.
