Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Whisk the maple syrup, Dijon, soy sauce and garlic together.
  3. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet and sear the chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned.
  4. Brush the glaze over the chicken.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.

Notes

The maple gives sweetness and the Dijon gives tang, but too much syrup can burn before the chicken finishes. The soy sauce adds salt and depth, so taste before adding any extra salt. Searing first builds browning and caramelization before the oven finishes it off.
