Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
If you’re missing any of these ingredients, don’t fret! You can easily substitute Dijon with whole-grain mustard for a bit more texture or use white wine vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar for a subtle twist.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. This mixture reminds me of the times in my grandmother’s kitchen, where I first learned to balance flavors.
- Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the honey mustard mixture over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The aroma will transport you to a place of warmth and comfort, much like family dinners back home.
- Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.
