Description

Sweet hot mustard is smothered on these baked chicken breasts for an easy weeknight main dish that delivers tons of flavor.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
10 tablespoons sweet hot mustard, divided
1 teaspoon garlic and herb seasoning, or more to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2 Pour olive oil into a bowl. Brush desired amount of olive oil on both sides of each chicken breast; set aside. Pour remaining oil into a 9x13-inch oven-safe glass baking dish. Mix in 2 tablespoons sweet hot mustard.
3 Brush 1 tablespoon sweet hot mustard on 1 side of each breast and season with garlic and herb seasoning and pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, placing the seasoned and mustard-lathered sides down. Repeat to season bare sides. Portion onion and garlic around chicken and put leftover pieces on top.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cover with aluminum foil and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
