3. Mix equal parts honey, Dijon mustard and a touch of olive oil.
4. Liberally coat the chicken with the honey mustard sauce.
5. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes to juicy perfection.

Tips on How to Make Honey Mustard Chicken

• Pound the chicken with a mallet to a uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
• Please don’t skip the olive oil in the marinade. Chicken breasts are very lean and a drizzle of fat will help keep them moist and flavorful.
• Baking the chicken at 350 F often results to dry texture as before the top even caramelizes nicely, the chicken is already overdone. Instead, cook on high heat (450) for ashorter period of time for juicier meat! If the sauce is browning too fast, loosely tent the baking dish with foil.
• Let the chicken rest for about 3 to 5 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
