Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.

- In a large bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, spices, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

Notes
This dish pairs wonderfully with couscous or a fresh salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
For best results, marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours or overnight. This enhances flavor and tenderness, making each bite even more delicious.
