Honey Mustard Baked Chicken
Browned, then topped with a simple honey mustard glaze, this chicken is out of the world flavorful!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (3-4 breasts)
- 1 Tbsp salted butter
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
Sauce:
- 2 Tbsp salted butter melted
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 ½ Tbsp yellow mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13" pan with cooking spray.
- If your chicken breasts are different thicknesses, pound them with a mallet or rolling pin till they are similar thickness. This helps them cook evenly.
- Heat butter and oil in a large non stick skillet over medium or medium high heat. Brown chicken breasts for 3-5 minutes per side.
- While the chicken is browning, make the sauce. Whisk melted butter, honey, mustard, salt, paprika, and pepper together in a small bowl; set aside
- Transfer the browned chicken to the prepared pan. Make sure to scrape all the browned bits into the baking dish, they add flavor!
- Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken.
- Cover the pan with foil. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Uncover and flip the chicken. Bake an additional 5 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165°.
- Serve chicken and sauce over hot fluffy rice or pasta. Make sure to drizzle the sauce over the top!
Notes
- If you like your chicken saucy, you can double the sauce recipe.
- Sometimes I add 1-2 teaspoons of curry powder to the sauce. Delish!
