Tasty Tuesday: Maple Dijon Chicken

MAPLE DIJON CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS:

1 3/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken, breasts or thighs
1/2 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
sprinkling of fresh thyme or rosemary, optional
salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Butterfly the chicken or pound it to an even thickness, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and place in a rimmed baking dish in an even layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the syrup, dijon, and vinegar until well combined. Pour over the chicken. Sprinkle with the herbs, if using.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees. Baste with the sauce just before serving.
