Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by seasoning your chicken pieces with salt and pepper generously. Allow the seasoned chicken to sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. In an oven-safe skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side.
  3. Prepare the mustard sauce by combining Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, and your choice of herbs in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Once the chicken is seared, pour the mustard mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
  5. Carefully transfer the skillet to your preheated oven. Bake the chicken for about 25-30 minutes, or until it reaches 165°F.
  6. Once baked, remove the skillet and let the French Mustard Chicken rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs or lemon zest before serving.
