- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced

- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tbsp creamy Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp whole grain Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sear each chicken breast for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
