Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking dish or skillet
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and thyme.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  4. Place the marinated chicken breasts in a baking dish, spacing them evenly.
  5. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking for a caramelized finish.
  7. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Slice the chicken and serve it on a platter, drizzling any remaining marinade over the top.
