Baked Honey Dijon Chicken
This easy Baked Honey Dijon Chicken is juicy and packed with flavor! Coated with a delicious chicken rub, baked to perfection and smothered in sticky Honey Dijon sauce, this oven baked chicken is ready in less than 30 minutes!
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 large chicken breasts boneless, skinless
For the Chicken Rub
- 1 and 1/2 tbsp (20 ml) olive oil
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (optional, to taste)
For the Homemade Honey Dijon Glaze
- 1/3 cup (110 g) liquid honey
- 1 tbsp (15 g) Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp (15 g) yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp (15 g) lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (15 g) apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar or more lemon juice)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F (220C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Make the chicken rub. In a shallow bowl combine together the olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, onion powder, cumin, paprika, and chipotle chili powder (optional). Add the chicken to the bowl and evenly rub the mixture all over the chicken. Place the prepared chicken onto the baking sheet
- Bake for 15-40 minutes or until fully cooked through. The amount of time may vary depending on the cut of chicken you’re using. I recommend flipping the chicken once halfway through baking. Chicken is considered safe when the internal temperature reaches 165F (75C). Mine was ready at 15 minutes (total).
- Make the honey Dijon glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, lemon juice, and vinegar. As soon as the chicken comes out of the oven, brush it with your prepared glaze, then bake or broil (broil if you like crispy) for another 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately!
Notes
Storing Instructions: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Reheating Instructions: The glaze may dry up so I recommend making more glaze and brushing the chicken with it before reheating. Reheat in a 350F (180C) preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until fully heated through or covered on the stovetop (low heat) for 5-10 minutes or until fully heated through or reheat in the microwave for just 2 minutes.
