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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Place the chicken in a resealable plastic freezer bag or an airtight container.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

If cooking immediately, allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 6

When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the prepared baking dish. Discard the leftover marinade to prevent contamination.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Maple Mustard Chicken with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
