Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat 1½ tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with the chicken seasoning blend, then brown the chicken in the skillet for about 2 minutes on each side.
In a small bowl, mix honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, wholegrain mustard, white vinegar, and paprika.
Once the chicken is browned, transfer it to the prepared baking dish. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken, ensuring it’s coated evenly.
If desired, place rosemary sprigs between the chicken breasts for added aroma and flavor.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Add Spice: For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the honey mustard sauce.

Chicken Thighs: Substitute chicken breasts with boneless thighs for a juicier result.

Honey Soy Option: Swap the mustard for soy sauce for a honey soy chicken twist.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
