  • Pat the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and arrange them side-by-side in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Evenly sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste over both sides of the chicken.
  • Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken bakes, make the sauce: pour 1/2 cup chicken broth into a bowl or measuring cup, whisk in 1 tablespoon cornstarch until fully dissolved and smooth, then whisk in 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup Dijon mustard until blended.
  • After the initial 10 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
  • Return the dish to the oven and continue baking, uncovered, for 15–20 minutes more, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165°F.

Notes

You may swap the Dijon mustard with another kind of mustard, but keep in mind the sharpness of the Dijon does cut some of the sweetness of the honey, and some mustards may make the dish super sweet.
