Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ cup white wine or chicken broth, dry
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup basil chopped, fresh
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • kosher salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ - 2 lbs. chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • basil optional garnish, chopped fresh, or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray an 11 x 7-inch baking dish (or any similar size that accommodates your chicken in a single layer) with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together wine, olive oil, Dijon mustard, basil, garlic, honey, Italian seasoning, and salt.
  3. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Pour sauce over the chicken and toss to make sure that each piece of chicken is well coated.
  5. Bake, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes, or until meat thermometer reads 165°F. Baste with pan sauce periodically while the chicken is cooking.
  6. Be sure to spoon plenty of the sauce over the chicken before serving!  Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

  • * I use 5 small chicken breasts that total 24 ounces. The small chicken breasts only require about 30 minutes in the oven. If you use much thicker, larger chicken breasts, you might have to increase the cooking time to about 45-50 minutes.
