A delightful and simple chicken recipe with a sweet and tangy glaze.
Prepare the chicken by washing and patting it dry.
Ensure the chicken is dry to allow the glaze to adhere better.
In a bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Taste the glaze and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Poke the chicken breasts with a fork to create small holes for better absorption of the glaze.
Be gentle to avoid tearing the chicken.
Coat the chicken with half of the glaze mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Let the chicken sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the glazed chicken. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.
Flip the chicken, add the remaining glaze, and cook covered for another 10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it's fully cooked.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
