  • Coat the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the maple-Dijon mixture over them, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Notes

  1. Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for high-quality maple syrup and Dijon mustard for the best flavor.
  2. Don’t Overcook: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked without drying out.
  3. Marinate for More Flavor: If you have extra time, let the chicken marinate in the sauce for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking.
  4. Customize the Recipe: Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for an extra layer of flavor.
