# Instructions:

Get your oven nice and hot by preheating it to 400°F (200°C). Move your oven rack to the top third position for the best results.

Arrange your chicken breasts in a 9x13 baking dish, making sure they're not overlapping. Give them a good sprinkle of garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Pop the seasoned chicken in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, leaving it uncovered.

While the chicken is doing its thing, whisk together your honey, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, and cornstarch until smooth.
05 -
Pull out the chicken and pour your honey-mustard mixture all over it, making sure each piece gets some love.
06 -
Back into the oven it goes for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches that perfect 165°F internal temperature.
07 -
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, spoon the delicious sauce over top, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you're feeling fancy. Give it a final taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
# Notes:
