Step 1

Stir together ⅓ cup honey with the pepper, garlic, dijon mustard, lemon juice and soy sauce.

Step 2

Pour over the chicken breasts in a large Ziploc bag and marinate in the fridge for at least a couple of hours.

Step 3

Place the marinaded chicken breasts on an aluminum foil lined cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees F, uncovered, for about 45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. I use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is between 170 and 180 degrees F.

Step 4

Do not throw out the marinade, instead the additional ¼ cup of honey to it and while the chicken is cooking, simmer the marinade over low heat and brush it repeatedly on the chicken in about the last half hour of cooking time; about every 10 minutes as it cooks.
