Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with a bit of cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

        Arrange chicken in the baking dish: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place them in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the chicken for extra flavor.

          Bake the chicken: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve a caramelized top.

            Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain juices. Slice the chicken, if desired, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.

              Enjoy: Serve the Honey Dijon Chicken with steamed vegetables or over a bed of rice for a complete meal!
