Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ⅓ cup dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, plus more
  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4)
  • Fresh thyme, for garnish

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Whisk together dijon mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
  • Place chicken breasts on a steady surface between two sheets of parchment or plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound each to an even thickness of 1”. Season chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken inside a 9×13” baking dish. Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook until the chicken is nearly finished cooking through, to 160ºF, about 30-35 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and loosely cover the chicken with aluminum foil to let it rest for 5-10 minutes while it finishes cooking.
  • Slice and serve with your favorite sides.
