Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 ½ - 2 pounds)
- ½ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup maple syrup pure
- 1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1-1 ½ Tablespoons cornstarch *, optional
- 1 Tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F. Line 8x8 cake pan with 2 layers of foil paper.
- Mix together mustard, maple syrup, vinegar, and pepper.
- Pour ¼ of sauce into pan and add breasts on top. Pour remaining sauce on top, make sure that chicken is fully covered with sauce.
- Bake 25-30 minutes uncovered until chicken reaches 165F on a digital thermometer. Mine cooked perfectly in 25 minutes for smaller sized breasts.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Remove chicken from pan (onto plates).
- Add cornstarch (if using) to the juices in the pan and mix with a fork or whisk.* Spoon sauce on top of the chicken and sprinkle with rosemary.
Notes
* I use 1 ½ Tablespoons of cornstarch because I like a little thicker sauce. If the sauce is not thickening, transfer to a pot and heat until bubbling and thickened.
For Dijon chicken thighs, cook the same way, but a bit longer, about 40 minutes.
