Ingredients

• 2 chicken breast halves
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your chicken cooks evenly and achieves that perfect golden crust.

2. Prepare Mustard Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and freshly chopped parsley. This creates a flavorful marinade that will infuse the chicken with delicious taste.

3. Brown Chicken: Heat an ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the pan and allow it to heat up. Once hot, add the chicken breast halves, skin side down. Sear them until the skin becomes golden brown and crispy. This step adds texture and locks in moisture.

4. Arrange Chicken in Pan: Once the chicken is browned on one side, remove it from the pan and pat dry with paper towels to remove any excess oil. Then, place the chicken breast halves back into the pan, this time with the skin side facing up.

5. Brush with Mustard Mixture: Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously coat the top of each chicken breast with the prepared mustard and parsley mixture. Ensure an even coating for maximum flavor in every bite.

6. Sprinkle with Paprika: Sprinkle the paprika evenly over the mustard-coated chicken breasts. This adds a subtle smokiness and enhances the overall presentation of the dish.

7. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The mustard coating will form a delectable crust, while the chicken remains juicy and tender.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum flavor and tenderness. Serve your Mustard Roasted Chicken alongside your favorite sides and enjoy a satisfying meal bursting with flavor.
