Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Place the seasoned chicken in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for 1 minute until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits.
Stir in the Dijon mustard and mix well until the sauce is smooth and combined.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the sauce. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165Β°F).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the mustard chicken warm, topped with fresh parsley for garnish if desired.
