How to Make Rosemary Garlic And Ginger Chicken Breasts

  1. Preheat oven to 400-425°F (200-220°C).
  2. In a large bowl or zip-top bag, whisk together: 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons water, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
  3. Add 4 bone-in, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs total) to the marinade. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  4. Line a shallow baking dish with foil. Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in the dish, pouring the remaining marinade over them.
  5. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary evenly over the chicken breasts.
  6. Bake uncovered for 50-65 minutes, basting with pan juices once after 30 minutes and once during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  7. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in extra-moist chicken.
  8. Serve and enjoy your incredibly juicy and flavorful chicken!
