Description
A simple and flavorful baked chicken dish featuring juicy boneless chicken breasts smothered in a sweet and tangy honey-Dijon sauce with garlic and rosemary, perfect for easy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 pieces)
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the sauce over them and tuck in the garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs.
- Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven, spoon extra sauce over the chicken, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
Notes
- Substitute apple cider vinegar with lemon juice for a brighter flavor.
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for juicier results.
- Add spices like paprika, curry powder, or mustard seeds for extra depth.
- For gluten-free, replace soy sauce with tamari.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days; reheat gently with added sauce or broth.
