Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and spray a large 11 x 8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the chicken breasts to your baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper, to season, and turn to coat.
- Meanwhile, add the soy sauce, honey, spicy brown mustard, lemon juice, and minced garlic to a small bowl. Whisk well to combine.
- Pour your prepared sauce over the top of the chicken breasts. Thoroughly coat each chicken breast in sauce (I like to use kitchen tongs to rotate each chicken breast 1-2 times).
- Tent your baking dish with foil and transfer it to the oven. Bake, covered, for 20 minutes. Then uncover and continue to bake for an additional 5-15 minutes, or until internal temperature registers 160 degrees as measured with a digital meat thermometer.
- Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- You can also prepare your marinade and chicken ahead of time. Combine the chicken breasts, olive oil, salt, pepper, and marinade in a gallon-size zip-lock bag and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- I did not feel the need to sear my chicken breasts before baking. If you decide to use bone-in skin-on chicken thighs, this is a step that I would recommend.
- Poultry should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F and allowed to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
