Baked chicken

Herb-Glazed Baked Chicken, inspired by the image you provided, offers a succulent and flavorful dish adorned with a golden-brown herb glaze.

Ingredients:

2 large chicken breasts (bone-in or boneless, according to preference)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: a pinch of smoked paprika for added flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Chicken: Use paper towels to pat the chicken breasts dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika if desired.

3. Create the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary.

4. Coat the Chicken: Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Drizzle the glaze mixture over the chicken, ensuring an even coating. A brush or spoon can be used for better distribution.

5. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes.

6. Broil for Extra Color: After baking, remove the foil and switch the oven to broil. Broil for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze achieves a golden and slightly caramelized appearance. Monitor closely to avoid burning.

7. Serve: Optionally garnish with additional fresh rosemary and drizzle some of the glaze from the baking dish over the chicken. Enjoy your meal!

This recipe yields tender, juicy chicken complemented by a sweet and savory herb glaze, making it an excellent accompaniment to roasted vegetables, potatoes, or a fresh salad. Please let me know if you decide to try it!
