Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the maple mustard mixture over the top, ensuring the chicken is fully 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 dish, and return to the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and lightly golden on top.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
