A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, featuring a tangy honey mustard glaze.
Preheat your broiler and line a broiler pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Using foil not only simplifies cleanup but also prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.
Ensure the glaze is well mixed for an even flavor.
Season the chicken breasts with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken dry before seasoning to help the spices adhere better.
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared broiler pan and broil for 5 minutes on one side.
Keep an eye on the chicken to avoid overcooking.
Flip the chicken breasts and broil for another 3 minutes.
Use tongs to flip the chicken for safety and ease.
Brush the chicken with half of the glaze and broil for 2 minutes.
Apply the glaze evenly for consistent flavor.
Turn the chicken again, brush with the remaining glaze, and broil for 1 more minute.
Ensure the glaze bubbles slightly for a caramelized finish.
Remove the chicken from the broiler and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
