Honey Mustard Chicken

This honey mustard chicken is so flavorful and one of the easiest things to make.  It is ideal for grilling and also delicious baked in the oven when the weather is cooler. I love serving it with fresh green beans and tomatoes in the summer and roasted root vegetables in the fall and winter. It’s also a great addition to salads with a balsamic vinaigrette.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons whole grain mustard

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 tablespoons honey

¼ teaspoon salt

freshly ground pepper

4 chicken breasts

Directions

Add all the ingredients except the chicken to a small bowl and stir to combine. Place the chicken in a baking dish and coat with the honey mustard sauce. Cover with saran and let marinate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Baking in Oven

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove the saran and bake for 20 minutes. The chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees.

Cooking in Grill Pan

Spray a grill pan with cooking spray and heat over medium high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook about 4 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the pieces. The chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees.
