This Honey Dijon Chicken Bake recipe is sooooo easy, when I tell you this is the perfect dinner for after a long day at work. The only real step is making the honey Dijon glaze, then it’s all the ovens work.

I also know lots of people who struggle with making flavorful, healthy dinners. Especially with chicken breast.

Since the breast of the chicken is especially lean, it doesn’t have much to fat. And the fat is where the natural flavors come from in wings, drumsticks, and thighs. So, you always have to put in a little extra work when it comes to flavoring a chicken breast.

Nonetheless, the chicken breast is my favorite part of the chicken to cook with because it is like a plain canvas. There’s so much you can do with it, like this wonderful Honey Dijon Chicken Bake Recipe.
