Ingredients
Scale
Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sauce:
- 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika

- Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
