Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary or 4 fresh rosemary sprigs
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz each)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a shallow dish, whisk together Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, turning to coat them well. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, take the chicken out of the oven, remove the foil, and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
Allowing the chicken to marinate enhances flavor and tenderness. Use a meat thermometer for doneness.
