Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking dish or skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Basting brush

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Sauce:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Marinate the Chicken:
  • Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish or resealable bag. Pour half of the honey mustard sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Cook the Chicken:
  • Baking Method: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the marinated chicken to a baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Grilling Method: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, basting with reserved sauce occasionally.
  • Pan-Seared Method: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the chicken for 5–7 minutes on each side, then add reserved sauce and cook for an additional 5 minutes until fully cooked.
  • Glaze and Serve:
  • Once cooked, brush the chicken with the remaining honey mustard sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
