Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 600g total)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: First things first, preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). This ensures even cooking and prevents the chicken from drying out.
- Prepare the honey mustard sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It should be a lovely, smooth, and fragrant mixture.
- Coat the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. You can use a spoon or a pastry brush to make sure every nook and cranny is covered.
- Bake the chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
- Rest the chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavourful result.
- Serve: Serve immediately with your favourite sides.
