Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Chicken breasts– Boneless, skinless chicken breasts with the extra fat removed.
- Mustard– Dijon
- Honey

- Spices– Curry powder and smoked paprika
How to Make
Making this baked honey mustard chicken is so easy!
Just stir the mustard, honey, oil, curry, and paprika together in a small bowl until it’s evenly combined.
Put the chicken in the marinade and toss it to coat.
Use tongs to transfer the coated chicken breasts onto a rimmed baking dish lined with aluminum foil.
Pour the rest of the marinade over the top of the chicken.
Work the chicken around a bit to help the sauce get underneath the chicken too.
Bake it in a 375 degree oven for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked to 165 degrees.
Serve warm with your favorite sides and enjoy!
