- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, curry powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Coat the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the honey-mustard sauce over them, making sure to coat the chicken evenly.
4. Bake the chicken: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
5. Serve and enjoy: Remove the baked chicken from the oven and spoon the extra sauce from the pan over the top before serving.
Notes
For even more flavor, let the chicken sit in the honey-mustard sauce for 30 minutes to an hour before baking.
The baking time may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F.
For an extra shiny and flavorful glaze, baste the chicken with the sauce from the pan every 10 minutes during the baking process.
Use a rimmed baking sheet or dish when baking the chicken for easy cleanup.
