Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, honey, chicken broth, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large ovenproof skillet.

Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken breasts in the skillet, coating them evenly.
Step 6
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
