Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb halved baby potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. Step 2: While potatoes roast, whisk 3 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sear chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium-low, brush chicken generously with the honey mustard glaze, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes per side until the glaze is sticky and fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Plate chicken alongside roasted baby potatoes and spoon any remaining glaze over the chicken before serving.
