• servings: 5 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ - 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts*

½ cup maple syrup

½ cup Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

2 sprigs fresh thyme

Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch or 11 x 7-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.

Pat the chicken dry, season it with salt and pepper to taste, and arrange it in the prepared baking dish.

Pour the sauce over the chicken. Toss to make sure that each piece of chicken is well coated. Tuck the sprigs of fresh herbs into the dish (placed alongside the chicken).

Bake, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 165°F. Discard the herb stems. Spoon the delicious pan sauce over the chicken. Garnish with fresh chopped herbs, if desired.
