Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey mustard
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Can substitute with mozzarella or gouda
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse chicken breasts under cool water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Drizzle honey mustard evenly over the top of each seared breast.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the honey mustard-coated chicken.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C) and cheese is bubbling and golden.
- Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
