Instructions

  • 1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  • 2. Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • 3. Coat the Chicken: Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Use a brush or spoon to spread the sauce evenly.
  • 4. Coat the Chicken: Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Use a brush or spoon to spread the sauce evenly.
  • 5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through the cooking time to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • 6. Broil (Optional): For a caramelized finish, turn the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
  • 7. Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
