Maple Mustard Chicken (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
8-ounce chicken breast, about medium size.
02 -
1 teaspoon tarragon, dried.
03 -
1 clove of garlic, either minced or crushed.
04 -
1 tablespoon olive oil that’s mild in flavor.
05 -
A quarter teaspoon of salt.
06 -
Half a tablespoon of white wine vinegar.
07 -
2 spoonfuls of maple syrup, preferably real.
08 -
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, good quality.
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine everything for the marinade in a bowl and give it a good stir. Leave it for now.
02 -
Use a meat mallet to pound the thick side of your chicken breast until it’s the same thickness all over. Cover it with plastic wrap beforehand.
03 -
Put the marinade in a sealable bag. Add the chicken, close the bag, and massage it gently until the chicken is fully coated.
04 -
Pop the bag in the fridge and leave it for 30 minutes to soak up the flavors.
05 -
Take the chicken out of the bag, then grill or bake it however you’d like.
06 -
Set your oven to 400°F. Line a baking pan with foil and add a wire rack on top. Place the chicken on the rack and bake it uncovered until its temperature inside reads 165°F. This should take about 25 minutes if the chicken is half an inch thick.
07 -
Grill the chicken until the inside temperature reaches 165°F. If it’s half an inch thick, this will probably take around 15 minutes.
# Notes:

For an incredible combo of tangy and sweet, this Maple Mustard Chicken is a must-try. The maple syrup adds sweetness, while Dijon mustard gives it rich depth. It works great either grilled or baked!
