Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp paprika until smooth to create the honey mustard glaze.
2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken breasts for 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
3. Step 3: Transfer chicken breasts to a baking dish and brush each generously with the honey mustard glaze. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F and glaze is caramelized. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
