Ingredients needed to make honey mustard chicken breast

• chicken breasts - the chicken breasts I used were of a medium size
• dijon mustard - or any other yellow mustard
• wholegrain mustard
• honey - I used runny honey
• salt and pepper to taste
• paprika- I used sweet paprika, but hot or smoked paprika are also ok
• lemon - can be optional, but I find that it works well with the other ingredients
• oil - or butter

Step-by-step photos and instructions

Chicken is a nice and lean meat that cooks well no matter how. And if you choose to bake it, there is no need to worry about the thickness of the chicken, this shouldn't matter much when it comes to it cooking through, but rather just for the amount of time it needs baking for.

• preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit)
• season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and paprika
• arrange them on an oven-proof dish
• to make the marinade: mix the wholegrain mustard with the dijon mustard and honey
• pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it coats it well
• bake for 30-35 minutes or until it's cooked through

Expert tips

This recipe is simplicity in itself, but if you want to make sure it's as good as you can get, follow these simple steps for the ultimate chicken breast recipe.

Note!I found that the best way to keep the marinade from staying on chicken is to sprinkle it with paprika before adding the marinade.

Please see the right-hand size top photo above. It really does the trick, and the sauce is guaranteed to stay where it is supposed to stay rather than ending in the baking dish.
