• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a shallow baking dish or resealable plastic bag, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat them evenly in the marinade.
• Step 2: Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer on a baking sheet or in a shallow baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
• Step 3: Remove the honey mustard chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. The chicken will continue to cook and the juices will redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful result.
