Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), or preheat a grill to medium-high heat if using.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the honey mustard sauce.
Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil (approximately 12x18 inches each) on a clean surface.
Place one chicken breast in the center of each foil sheet.
Arrange an even amount of baby carrots and baby red potato halves around the chicken on each foil sheet.
Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of the honey mustard sauce over each chicken breast and vegetables, ensuring everything is lightly coated.
Fold each foil sheet over the chicken and veggies to create a sealed packet, pinching the edges tightly to prevent any liquid from leaking out.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet if using the oven, or directly on the grill grates if grilling.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or grill for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Carefully open each foil packet (be cautious of steam) and garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, if desired.
Serve the honey mustard chicken packets hot, directly in the foil packets for easy cleanup, or transfer to plates.
