# Ingredients:

→ Golden Chicken Foundation

01 - 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1/2 tsp salt
04 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
05 - 1/4 tsp garlic powder

→ Sweet & Tangy Glaze

06 - 1/4 cup honey
07 - 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
08 - 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
09 - 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
10 - 1 tbsp olive oil
11 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
12 - 1/2 tsp paprika

→ Fresh Finish

13 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F. Pat dry 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Season evenly with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. This is the first step for your Delicious Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe.
02 - Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. This initial sear adds great flavor to your Delicious Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe.
03 - While the chicken sears, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp whole grain mustard, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 tsp paprika until well combined.
04 - Pour about half of the prepared honey mustard glaze over the seared chicken in the skillet, ensuring each piece is coated. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
05 - Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. During the last 5 minutes of baking, you can brush the remaining glaze over the chicken for extra flavor and shine.
06 - Remove the skillet from the oven and let the Delicious Honey Mustard Chicken Recipe rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish generously with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley. This resting period ensures juicy chicken.

# Notes:

01 - For even cooking, pound chicken breasts to a uniform thickness (about 3/4 inch) before seasoning. This helps prevent one part from drying out while another finishes cooking.
02 - Store leftover Honey Mustard Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to maintain moisture.
03 - If you don't have whole grain mustard, you can use an additional 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard, though the whole grain adds a nice texture and milder mustard flavor.
04 - This chicken pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables like asparagus or broccoli, mashed potatoes, or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
