Follow these straightforward steps to create your Oven Baked Honey Mustard Chicken:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried thyme until well combined.
3. Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each piece is well-coated.
4. Marinate (Optional): If time allows, let the chicken marinate for 15-30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. Baste: Halfway through cooking, baste the chicken with the marinade to keep it moist and flavorful.
7. Broil (Optional): For a crispy top, switch to broil for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
8. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for an added touch of color.

These simple steps will guide you in making a flavorful Oven Baked Honey Mustard Chicken that your family will love.
