Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts approximately 8 ounces each
  • ½ cup honey
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 3 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes more if you want extra heat

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degree F. 
  • Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken and place in a foil lined baking pan. 
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter on low - medium heat. 
  • Once melted, add the garlic, honey, mustard and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined. 
  • Pour the mixture on top of the chicken and place in the oven for approximately 30 minutes. 
  • Halfway through, remove chicken from the oven and baste with the sauce. 
  • Start to check chicken around 25 minutes for doneness. Chicken is cooked when it reaches 165 degrees F. Cooking time will vary based on size of chicken. 

Notes

Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Marinate the chicken breasts in the honey garlic sauce for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
Even Thickness: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking. This ensures they cook evenly and stay juicy.
Use Fresh Garlic: Freshly minced garlic provides a more vibrant and robust flavor compared to pre-minced or powdered garlic.
