Ingredients & Substitutions

Chicken

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh rosemary or parsley (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Greek Chicken and Lemon Rice:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
• Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, and minced garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
• Prep the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Pour the honey Dijon sauce over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature—it should reach 165°F (75°C).
• Serve: Garnish with fresh rosemary or parsley if you like, and serve with your favorite sides like roasted veggies, rice, or a crisp salad.
