SUCCULENT BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Chicken is my family’s favorite meat. It is always present in the fridge. Chicken thighs are more fatty and juicy in comparison with chicken breasts. However, I regularly buy chicken breasts and never stop looking for new ways to make this boring white meat into something really amazing and delicious.  I don’t mean only stuffing  breasts like in this recipe Spinach stuffed chicken breasts.

These Baked Chicken Breasts in Honey mustard sauce recipe is the perfect way to make healthy, super juicy and tasty chicken breasts in the oven.
