This Maple-Mustard Baked is very easy dinner recipe. Simply grab a baking dish and throw in a few boneless, skinless chicken breasts then top them with a sauce comprised of just 4 ingredients: spicy brown mustard, maple syrup, brown sugar, and red wine vinegar. While the chicken bakes you can whip up a side dish or two, and just like that dinner is on the table in under 30 minutes! I’m not even a huge mustard fan but the sweet and savory flavors going on with this dish totally won me over.

Maple-Mustard Baked Chicken
barely adapted from Good Dinner Mom
(Note: be sure to use real maple syrup, not pancake syrup here.)
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup spicy brown mustard
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lb)
- chopped fresh rosemary, to garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 F. Spray a 13x-9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a measuring cup, whisk together the mustard, maple syrup, brown sugar, and red wine vinegar until well combined. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, then place in the prepared baking dish. Pour the mustard mixture over the chicken.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven and spoon some of the sauce from the bottom of the pan over the top of the chicken. Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (it will register 160-165 F on an instant-read thermometer). Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh rosemary and serve!
