Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon mild Dijon mustard smooth and
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or to taste
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts 4 large chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt as needed
2 sprigs rosemary
ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) °F and lightly grease a baking dish.
Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix oil, honey, both mustards, garlic, and lemon juice.
Prep the chicken: Place chicken in the dish, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Spoon ¾ of the sauce over the chicken and coat evenly. Tuck rosemary sprigs between the pieces.
Bake covered for 15 minutes. Remove foil, spoon over the remaining sauce, and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes or until fully cooked.
Broil for 2 minutes to brown and caramelize the top.
Let rest for 5 minutes covered with foil. Serve with pan juices.

Notes

To Thicken the Sauce: If a thicker sauce is desired, remove the baked chicken breasts and set aside on a plate. Place the pan juices in a skillet over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Stir the slurry into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and is free of lumps.
