Dijon Chicken

This is one of the easiest chicken recipes I have come across and it packs tremendous flavor. I served it with buttered GF noodles and roasted asparagus. None of the leftovers went to waste from this dish! The recipe is from the site Witty In The City. I used whole grain dijon instead of creamy and think it would have been better if I had just added 2 tablespoons of whole grain to the recipe. This is one meal that is going to be served frequently at my house! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Dijon Chicken
* 1.5 pounds chicken breasts or thighs, boneless & skinless
* 1/2 c dijon mustard
* 2 tablespoons of whole grain dijon (optional)
* 1/4 c maple syrup
* 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
* 2 tablespoons freshly chopped rosemary

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Combine the mustard, syrup and vinegar in a small bowl, whisk until well blended. Place the chicken in a lightly greased baking dish. Pour the mustard mixture over the chicken. Make sure the mustard has coated all of the chicken. Bake at 450 degrees until golden brown and a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees, approximately 30 minutes for breast and 40 minutes for thighs. Plate the chicken pouring the reserved sauce from the baking dish over each serving. Top with fresh rosemary and enjoy!
