Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
3 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions

2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, and minced garlic.
3. Heat olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the chicken breasts for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
5. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken and coat evenly.
6. Let the sauce simmer for 1 minute to start thickening.
7. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C).
8. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
10. Spoon extra sauce over the top and garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
For best flavor, use a combination of Dijon and whole grain mustard.
Always rest the chicken after baking for extra juiciness.
Double the sauce if you want extra for drizzling over sides or rice.
