Easy Baked Honey Dijon Chicken

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray.

In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the honey Dijon mixture evenly over the top.

Use a spoon or brush to coat the chicken well with the sauce.

Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.

Optionally, broil for the last 2–3 minutes for a caramelized top.

Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
