Creating Honey Mustard Chicken is a simple process if you follow these detailed steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.
3. Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large baking dish. Pour the honey mustard marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
4. Marinate: Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes. For more flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
5. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. Baste the Chicken: Halfway through baking, drizzle some of the marinade over the chicken to enhance the flavor and moisture.
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken before serving for an added touch of color and flavor.
