This Dijon Chicken recipe is a 5 ingredient weeknight dinner recipe ready in under an hour!
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!
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts
- ⅔ cup dijon mustard (I used French's with Chardonnay)
- ⅓ cup maple syrup (not pancake syrup-real maple syrup!)
- 1 ½ tablespoon 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 green beans-it's delicious and I definitely don't normally consider myself a big chicken fan.
You could also serve with sour cream 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 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
