Creating Oven Baked Honey Mustard Chicken is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Mix Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme until well combined.
3. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a bowl. Pour half of the honey mustard mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Reserve the other half for later.
4. Marinate: Seal the bag or cover the bowl, and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
5. Arrange in Baking Dish: After marinating, remove the chicken from the fridge and arrange it in the prepared baking dish.
6. Bake: Pour the remaining honey mustard sauce over the chicken. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Baste: Halfway through cooking, you can baste the chicken with the sauce to keep it moist and flavorful.
8. Rest: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and added flavor before serving.
