Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup Dijon mustard Whole-grain mustard can be used as a substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • as desired Fresh rosemary sprigs Optional for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined.
  3. Season the chicken breast halves generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cooking
  1. Place the chicken in a baking dish, ensuring they’re not overlapping.
  2. Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken, making sure every piece is coated generously.
  3. Bake the chicken in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the juices run clear, or a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part.
  4. For an extra touch, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to give your chicken a crispy top.
  5. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired, and serve along complementary sides like a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
