A quick and easy baked chicken breast recipe with a crispy honey mustard glaze paired with roasted broccoli, perfect for a healthy and flavorful dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound/450 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or local)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (about 50 grams, Japanese-style preferred)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (mild or smoked)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 large head broccoli (about 12 ounces/340 grams), cut into florets

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Toss broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly on one side of the baking sheet.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and 1 tablespoon olive oil until smooth. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Spread a thin layer of the honey mustard glaze on each chicken breast.
  6. Press each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly on all sides. Save a little glaze for drizzling later.
  7. Place the chicken on the baking sheet next to the broccoli. Drizzle any leftover glaze over the coated chicken breasts.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown, and broccoli is tender with slightly charred edges.
  9. Optional: Broil the chicken and broccoli for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  10. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before coating to ensure crispiness. Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter crust. High heat baking at 425°F is essential for a crispy exterior. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Rest chicken after baking for juicy results. Optional broiling at the end enhances crispiness. For gluten-free, substitute panko with almond flour or gluten-free crackers. For dairy-free, omit Parmesan or use plant-based alternatives.
