Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Place the chicken in a resealable plastic freezer bag or an airtight container.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or container and gently massage the chicken to distribute the marinade.
If freezing for later use (OAMC - Once a Month Cooking), label the bag or container with the recipe name and date, then store it flat in the freezer for up to 3 months.
If cooking immediately, allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the prepared baking dish. Discard the leftover marinade to prevent contamination.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with its own juices halfway through cooking for added flavor and moisture.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Maple Mustard Chicken with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
