Baked Honey Mustard Chicken Breasts

I tend to marinate most meat dishes, I like the way the ingredients are saturated into the meat. So whether it is chicken or red meat, if I know what I am cooking the next day – I will marinate it and leave in the fridge overnight so that when I come from work the next day, the meat has nicely absorbed the flavors. You can marinate most meats as long you want from a couple of minutes to overnight. And honey mustard chicken is one of my absolute favorites.

Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup prepared mustard
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley

Method

1. Mix the honey, mustard, basil, paprika, parsley and seasoning, then pour 3/4 of the mixture over the chicken pieces, coating them well.
2. Leave the chicken to marinate overnight or for a couple of hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350^oF (175^oC).
4. Place the chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish.
5. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn chicken pieces over and brush with the remaining 1/4 of the honey mustard mixture. Leave in oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear.
6. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
