Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking dish or skillet
  • Meat thermometer
  • Tongs
  • Basting brush (optional)

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
  • Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a baking dish or skillet. Pour the honey garlic mustard sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  • Cook the Chicken:
  • Baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), and the sauce is caramelized and bubbly. Baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
  • Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Pour the remaining sauce into the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking to create a glaze.
  • Serve: Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and spoon the sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
