- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
- Combine the Dijon mustard, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.

Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh. For a low-carb option, skip the Dijon altogether.
