This Dijon Chicken recipe is a 5 ingredient weeknight dinner recipe ready in under an hour!

My friend called this her million dollar chicken and she was not exaggerating! This dijon chicken is packed full of flavor and only 5 ingredients!

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 Million Dollar 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!

5 Ingredient Dijon Chicken

6 chicken breasts
2/3 cup dijon mustard (I used French’s with Chardonnay)
1/3 cup maple syrup (not pancake syrup-real maple syrup!)
1 1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
pepper

How to Make Dijon Chicken

This recipe is so simple! Lay the chicken breasts in a single layer in a casserole 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.

What to Serve with Dijon Chicken

I served this with my favorite mushroom risotto recipe and green beans-it’s delicious and I definitely don’t normally consider myself a big chicken fan. I also love to heat it up the next day and chop it up to put in a wrap for lunch-it reheats well and packs a big flavor punch!
