Servings: 4
- 4 chicken breasts boneless skinless
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard see note
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Chopped parsley optional, to taste
Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
Place the chicken breasts side-by-side in a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle them with the garlic powder and salt & pepper.
Once the oven has been preheated, bake the chicken for 10 minutes, uncovered.
Meanwhile, whisk the sauce ingredients together (honey, Dijon, chicken broth, cornstarch).
Take the chicken out of the oven and pour the sauce over top.
Return it to the oven and bake it, uncovered, for another 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165F).
Take the chicken out of the oven and spoon the sauce over top. Let it rest for 5 minutes prior to serving. Sprinkle parsley over top if using and season with extra salt & pepper as needed.
- You may swap the Dijon mustard with another kind of mustard, but keep in mind the sharpness of the Dijon does cut some of the sweetness of the honey, and some mustards may make the dish super sweet.
