Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, olive oil, and chopped rosemary until well combined.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the chicken breasts into a baking dish in a single layer. Pour the maple syrup mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil, baste the chicken with the sauce in the baking dish, and continue baking uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon some of the pan sauce over the chicken for extra flavor.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, and enjoy!
