Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, sliced into individual one-tablespoon pieces
- Parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13 (or smaller) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about ½ to ¾ inch thick). Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, honey, and garlic powder.
- Pour half of the honey mustard sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the seared chicken breasts on top of the sauce and pour the remaining sauce over the chicken.
- Place one sliced tablespoon of salted butter on each chicken breast.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Garnish with chopped parsley (optional) before serving.
Notes
- If you like your chicken extra crispy, sear it for an additional minute or two on each side before transferring it to the baking dish.
- The cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a slightly different flavor profile.
