Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil until well combined.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mustard mixture. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the honey mustard mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil, spoon some of the sauce over the chicken breasts, and return the dish to the oven.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Once done, allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
