Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Whisk Marinade Ingredients:

    Whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until the mixture is smooth.
  • Marinate Chicken Breasts:

    Put the chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Cover them completely with the marinade. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a more intense taste.
  • Preheat Oven to 375°F:

    Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat.
  • Arrange Chicken in Dish:

    Take the chicken out of the marinade and arrange it in a greased baking dish. Keep the leftover marinade aside.
  • Bake Chicken Until Done:

    Cook the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the internal temperature hits 165°F (75°C) and the meat is fully done.
  • Glaze with Reserved Marinade:

    During the final 5 minutes of baking, coat the chicken with the reserved marinade for added flavor and a shiny glaze.
  • Rest Chicken for Juices:

    After baking, take the chicken out of the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes so the juices can spread throughout.
  • Garnish with Parsley:

    If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color.
