How to Make Baked Dijon Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each) and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a 13x9 inch glass baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the following ingredients:
  5. 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  6. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  7. 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  8. 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  9. 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  10. A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  11. Sprinkle the chicken breasts lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  12. Evenly spread the Dijon mustard mixture over the top of each chicken breast, ensuring they are fully coated.
  13. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and no longer pink.
