This succulent mustard glazed chicken breast is perfect for a quick yet flavorful main dish. The tangy mustard combined with honey creates a delightful glaze that complements the juicy chicken perfectly.

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
  3. Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Brush the mustard glaze evenly over the chicken breast.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for Mustard Glazed Chicken Breast

  • A glossy, lightly caramelized surface is a good visual cue; watch the honey glaze near the end, as it can darken quickly.
  • A very thick chicken breast may cook unevenly; gently flattening the thick end helps it finish at the same time as the thinner end.
  • Use a small rimmed baking sheet so any glaze that runs off stays contained, and let the chicken rest before slicing to retain its juices.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the chicken is done without cutting it open?

The thickest part should feel firm, and the juices should run clear. A food thermometer is the most reliable check.

Can I prepare the glaze ahead?

Yes. Mix it shortly ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator; stir again before using, since it may separate slightly.

What should I serve with mustard glazed chicken?

Roasted potatoes, rice, or a simple green salad pair well with the sweet-tangy glaze.
