A delightful twist on a classic honey-mustard chicken recipe, perfect for a quick and flavorful dinner.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to maintain even cooking.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier.
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Space the chicken evenly to ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until smooth.
Mix the glaze thoroughly to ensure even flavor distribution.
Spread the glaze evenly over the chicken breasts, covering them completely.
Use the back of a spoon to spread the glaze smoothly.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is golden.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
