Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 - 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary

Method

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 8x8" oven-proof pan with 2 layers of tin foil.
  • In small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, vinegar, salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken in the foil layered pan then pour the mixture on top of it. Turn the chicken around in the sauce to make sure it gets all coated.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let chicken sit for 5 minutes then transfer to a plate. Do NOT discard the liquid.
  • Immediately after plating chicken, whisk in the cornstarch into the liquid in the pan to create a thick sauce. You need to do cornstarch mixing immediately because the liquid needs to be hot in order for it to thicken properly. If it's still not thickening after 1 tbsp., you can add more.
  • Sprinkle rosemary on top before serving.
  • Serve with rice or potatoes or vegetables.
