Provided on allrecipes.com
6 servings

Ingredients:
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup prepared mustard
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste, and place in a
lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the honey,
mustard, basil, paprika, and parsley. Mix well.
Pour half of this mixture over the chicken and brush to cover.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Turn chicken pieces over and
brush with the remaining 1/2 of the honey mustard mixture. Bake for an
additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices
run clear. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
