Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, sliced into individual one-tablespoon pieces

 

  • Chopped parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9×13 (or smaller) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Prepare the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ½ to ¾ inch. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the Chicken: Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • Make the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, honey, and garlic powder.
  • Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour half of the honey mustard sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the chicken breasts on top of the sauce, then pour the remaining sauce over the chicken.
  • Add Butter: Top each chicken breast with one sliced tablespoon of salted butter.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken breasts and how well they were seared.

 

  • Garnish: Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, serve the chicken with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or rice.

 

  • Ensure the chicken is pounded evenly for consistent cooking.
