Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, date paste, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and smooth.
Place the chicken breasts in a large oven-safe baking dish. Pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
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 reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve with your choice of Whole30-compliant vegetables or a salad.
