Low-Fat Baked Dijon Mustard Chicken Recipe

Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare Chicken:

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and place them in a baking dish.

Make Marinade:

In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey or maple syrup, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Marinate Chicken:

Coat the chicken breasts with the Dijon mustard marinade, ensuring they are well-covered. Let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes for the flavors to infuse.

Bake:

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Broil (Optional):

If you prefer a slightly crispy top, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

Garnish:

Garnish the baked Dijon mustard chicken with fresh parsley if desired.

Serve:

Serve the chicken with lemon wedges on the side for an extra citrus kick.
