Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a grill or skillet over medium heat.
  • If baking, place the marinated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If grilling or pan-frying, cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, baste the chicken with the marinade halfway through cooking.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
