| Step | Description |

| 1 | In a bowl, combine Dijon mustard, orange marmalade, lime juice, olive oil, and finely chopped jalapeno if desired, to create the flavorful sauce. 🍊🌶️ |
| 2 | Adjust the heat level by adding a sprinkle of cayenne pepper if desired, until the sauce reaches your preferred level of spiciness. 🔥 |
| 3 | Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. 🍗 |
| 4 | Carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, creating space to spoon in the mustard sauce later. |

| 6 | Brush the remaining sauce over the tops of the chicken breasts, coating them thoroughly. |
| 7 | Preheat your oven to the specified temperature and place a rack inside a roasting pan. |
| 8 | Arrange the chicken breasts on the rack in the roasting pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking. |
| 9 | Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches a safe level and the chicken is no longer pink. 🕒 |
| 10 | During the cooking process, baste the chicken breasts once with the sauce to keep them moist and flavorful. 🍗🍊 |
| 11 | Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. 🍽️ |
