Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, 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 honey Dijon marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

        Arrange and Bake: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the prepared baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken for added flavor.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and registers an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The chicken should be golden brown and slightly caramelized.

            Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a healthy meal.
