Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the maple mustard sauce evenly over them. Turn the chicken breasts several times to coat them thoroughly in the sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with the sauce from the dish halfway through cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.
Once done, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pour any remaining sauce from the baking dish over the chicken for added flavor.
Serve with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad. Enjoy!
