Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup pure Vermont maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown (they do not need to be fully cooked).
Step 5
Place the seared chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Pour the maple syrup mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Step 7
Sprinkle the minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme leaves over the chicken.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Spoon the sauce from the pan over the chicken before serving for added flavor.
Step 10
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
