Delicious Honey Mustard Baked Chicken


This honey-mustard baked chicken is easy to do and it is absolutely delicious!!! I found this recipie  in the last cooking book I bought, I have already had it twice this week and can't wait to have it again!
 


Ingredients and steps:

- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 large garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 large chicken breasts, cut in half
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp frshly ground black pepper
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar (other vinegars are also fine)
- 3 tbsp chicken stock
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 cup water
- oil

Preheat the oven at 200 degrees (400 degrees F)

Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.

Add the onion and saute for 2 minutes.

Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute.

Remove the onion and garlic from the pan and reserve for later use.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add the chicken to the hot pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until browned. Then turn the chicken and cook for 3 minutes.

Add the rosemary and thyme to the pan.

Combine honey, vinegar, stock and mustard and stir the mixture into the chicken.

Return the onions and garlic to the pan and stir well.

Place the pan in the pre-heated oven and cook for about 30 minutes. After 30 mintues check to see if the sauce has become to thick, if it has, stir some water.

Turn the chicken breast and cook for 15 minutes or until chicken is nicely browned. I like to to put it under the oven grill for a few minutes.

Place the chicken on a serving platter and top with the sauce.
