Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the yellow mustard, honey, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and well combined.
  3. Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the chicken breasts in the dish, ensuring they don't touch each other for even cooking.
  4. Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken, making sure to coat each piece thoroughly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before serving to keep the juices locked in.

Notes

For a more sophisticated flavor, substitute Dijon mustard for the yellow mustard. Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for juicier results. The sauce will thicken slightly during baking, creating a delicious glaze that's perfect for drizzling over rice or vegetables.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to prevent the chicken from drying out.
