Chicken breasts with mustard and honey in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make delicious juicy chicken breasts with mustard and honey in the oven? Very simple and fast. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can take chicken breasts with bone and skin or just chicken fillet. Depending on the size of the chicken breasts, there may be 3 or 4. I have large breasts, so there were 3 pieces.

2. Step 2:

   

   Add the finished mustard to the liquid honey and mix until smooth. You can take any mustard - Dijon, Russian or prepare mustard yourself from mustard powder. If your honey is very candied, first melt it in a water bath or in the microwave.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash and dry the chicken breasts. If you have a whole breast with a bone, cut it in half. You can leave the skin or cut it off as you like. I removed the skin and cut out the bone.

5. Step 4:

   

   Sprinkle the chicken with spices, salt and pepper. When using a ready-made spice mixture, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt and pepper are already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting and peppering the dish. Salt and pepper were not included in my mixture.

6. Step 5:

   

   Fill the breasts with a mixture of honey and mustard. Leave the bird to marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. If possible, you can marinate longer, but in the refrigerator.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the chicken breasts in a greased baking dish and pour the honey-mustard mixture from the bowl. Put the chicken in preheated to 200 °Remove from the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, periodically watering the meat with juice from the bottom of the mold. The exact baking time depends on your oven and the size of the breasts. Meat with bone is baked a little longer than fillet. But it is also important not to over-dry the bird. Enjoy your meal!
