Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and pour the honey mustard sauce evenly over them, turning to coat all sides.
Bake: Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve: Spoon some of the sauce from the pan over the chicken before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 1–2 hours before baking.
Serve with roasted vegetables, rice, or a green salad.
You can also use chicken thighs if preferred; adjust cook time accordingly.
