A delightful chicken dish with a sweet and tangy glaze, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 325°F and prepare a baking dish by greasing it or lining it with foil.
Lining the dish with foil makes cleanup easier.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Set a timer to avoid overcooking.
In a small saucepan, combine the butter, honey, salt, and mustard. Stir over low heat until the mixture is smooth and heated through.
Stir constantly to prevent the butter from burning.
Pour the prepared glaze over the partially baked chicken.
Ensure the glaze coats the chicken evenly.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature accurately.
Baste the chicken with the glaze one final time before serving.
Basting adds extra flavor and keeps the chicken moist.
Serve the chicken warm, garnished with your choice of herbs or spices.
Fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika makes a great garnish.
