Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, chopped rosemary, garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub each piece with olive oil and arrange them in a baking dish.
Brush or spoon the mustard mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Pour the chicken broth into the baking dish around the chicken breasts, avoiding washing off the mustard coating.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt until smooth. Once the chicken is cooked, serve each piece with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
