Honey Mustard Chicken:

Ingredients:
 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
 Salt and pepper, to taste
 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
 1/4 cup honey
 2 tablespoons olive oil
 2 cloves garlic, minced
 1 tablespoon soy sauce
 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves)
 1/2 teaspoon paprika
 Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and
pepper on both sides. Set aside.
2. Make the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together
the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple
cider vinegar, dried thyme, and paprika until well combined. Taste the
sauce and adjust the sweetness or tanginess according to your
preference by adding more honey or vinegar if needed.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a
shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the honey mustard sauce
over the chicken, making sure each breast is evenly coated. Cover the
dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to
marinate. You can also marinate the chicken for up to 4 hours for
more flavor.
4. Cook the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat a large
oven-safe skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add
a bit of olive oil to the pan. Place the marinated chicken breasts in the
skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until lightly
browned.
5. Bake: Transfer the skillet with the partially cooked chicken breasts to
the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is
 cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Baste the chicken with the honey mustard sauce from the skillet a
couple of times during baking for extra flavor.
6. Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish
with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the honey mustard chicken hot,
accompanied by your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables,
rice, or mashed potatoes.

Enjoy your flavorful Honey Mustard Chicken!
