Pin This RecipeThe BEST Baked Chicken
This is SO easy and it is TO DIE FOR delicious! It is probably in my top 5 favorite chicken recipes. I was able to assemble this in the time it took for the oven to preheat. This could also be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. I think that would only make the chicken taste better to sit in the honey mustard mixture all day! Make sure to spoon some of the sauce that is in the pan over the chicken when serving. You don’t want to waste any of that goodness. Chicken Legs cleaned his plate in record time and requested to have this again the next night. It was that good! This is obviously going in our regular dinner rotation.
Cheesy Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon & a Touch of Lemon
This Cheesy Honey Mustard Chicken is very simple to make. Season chicken breasts with lemon pepper then pour a mixture of honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice and paprika over the seasoned chicken. Bake the chicken for about 20 minutes and then top the chicken with bacon and cheese! Let the chicken finish baking until the cheese has melted. SO easy! I had the chicken prepped before my oven had time to preheat and dinner was on the table in about 30 minutes. Such a great quick and easy weeknight meal!

Have a honey allergy … Do you think maple syrup would work in place of honey? Might be too runny?
I think it might work fine.
Don’t have lemon pepper can I use something else
I actually turned the chicken breast in a little cornstarch and added the lemon pepper. Sauce was thicken and stayed on the breasts. It was delicious and got the flavor of the sauce on every bite
Can you use chicken thighs instead of breast?
Sure! Just make sure to adjust the cooking time to ensure the chicken has an internal temperature of 165ºF.
