Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, olive oil, rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and, if needed, pound them to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
Rub the marinade generously over each chicken breast, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. (They do not need to be fully cooked yet.)
Remove the skillet from heat and pour the chicken broth around the chicken, ensuring the broth does not wash away the marinade on top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Spoon some of the pan sauce over the chicken before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
