Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides lightly with additional salt and pepper.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the honey mustard marinade over them, making sure each piece is well coated.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the chicken to help the skinless chicken brown nicely.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for an added pop of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve with your choice of steamed vegetables or a light salad to keep the meal low-fat.
