Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
Transfer the marinated chicken breasts to a baking dish in a single layer. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the baking dish to help keep the chicken moist while baking.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam and prevent the chicken from drying out.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the tops to lightly brown.
Using a meat thermometer, check that the internal temperature of the thickest part of each chicken breast reaches 165°F (74°C). If it has not, continue baking in 5-minute increments until done.
Remove the baked chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
