I was eating at a friend’s house a few years ago when she served this amazing dijon chicken-she called it her Million Dollar chicken-it was always a huge hit.
She was right-it was delicious and she was gracious enough to share the recipe with me and allow me to share it with you! (Thanks Amy!)
This Maple Dijon Chicken is super easy to make-only 5 ingredients-and you really can’t mess it up. It’s flavorful without being overpowering and reheats nicely for leftovers as well-I hope you enjoy it!
Ingredients
- chicken breasts – skin on or skinless, either will work
- dijon mustard (I used French’s with Chardonnay)
- maple syrup (not pancake syrup-real maple syrup!)
- red wine vinegar
- salt and pepper
Step by step
This recipe is so simple!
- Lay the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish and season liberally with pepper.
- In a small bowl combine mustard, syrup, and vinegar.
- Mix until uniform and pour over chicken to thoroughly coat.
- Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.
Serving suggestions
I served this with my favorite mushroom risotto recipe and roasted green beans-it’s a delicious combination.
You could also serve with cheddar chive mashed potatoes, roasted peppers and onion, or roasted potatoes.
I also love to heat it up the next day and chop it up to put in a wrap or salad for lunch-it reheats well and packs a big flavor punch!
Variations
- Whip up a garlic dijon sauce to serve over the chicken and vegetables
- Top with a squeeze of lemon juice to add an extra dash of flavor
- use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts, cooking time may need to be adjusted
- try stone ground or whole grain mustard to add a little extra texture and kick
