Full Recipe:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
1/4 cup (60 ml) Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Preheat your oven to 375 °F (190 °C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and glossy.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish and generously coat them with the honey Dijon mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly glazed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165 °F / 74 °C) and lightly golden.
Remove from oven and, if desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately.
