Garlic Honey-Dijon Glazed Chicken

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until softened but not browned.

Add the honey, whole grain Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp of salt, and 1/4 tsp of black pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to blend and simmer over medium heat for 1-2 minutes to slightly reduce the glaze.

Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with the remaining 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of black pepper. Place them evenly spaced in the prepared baking pan.

Pour the warm glaze evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are completely coated.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the pan and baste the chicken with the glaze from the bottom of the pan. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure maximum juiciness.
