Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, curry powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the honey mustard marinade over them. Make sure each chicken breast is well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and place them in the skillet.
- Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
