Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat, add minced garlic, and cook gently for 30-60 seconds.
Stir in honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper; simmer until slightly thickened.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Carefully place the chicken breasts in the hot baking pan, spaced evenly.
Pour the honey Dijon glaze over the chicken.
Bake for 15 minutes, then baste the chicken with the pan glaze.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until cooked through (170°F).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Using a meat thermometer ensures perfect doneness.
Letting the chicken rest allows juices to redistribute for a moist result.
Serve with vegetables or grains for a complete meal.
