Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and fresh rosemary. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the Dijon herb mixture into the skillet, stirring to combine. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes to develop the flavors.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid, and let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth to loosen it and keep it silky.
Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve warm with sauce drizzled over the top, and garnish with lemon wedges for added brightness.
