I wanted to whip up something quick for dinner tonight and this seemed easy enough. It's another recipe that has been getting rave reviews on Pinterest so I figured, why not give it a whirl. I used pretty thin chicken breasts so they cooked pretty quickly and didn't get as crispy as I wanted, but the flavor of the sauce was very good. Pinterest calls this "Man-Pleasing Chicken," I would have to agree.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 450ºF. Then, mix together 1/2 cup of dijon mustard, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of rice/rice wine vinegar.
Put a 1.5 pound package of chicken thighs or breasts into a foil-lined, oven-proof baking dish. Then, salt and pepper the thighs. Pour your maple mustard mixture over them, turning the thighs in the mixture so they are fully coated.
Put the chicken thighs into the oven, and let them bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165ºF. Baste the tops of the chicken with more sauce half way through. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate the chicken, making sure to spoon some extra sauce over the top. Sprinkle over some fresh rosemary.
