Maple-Glazed Chicken

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to make the glaze.
Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and brush both sides generously with the maple glaze.
Reserve some of the glaze for later use.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through. Baste the chicken with the reserved glaze halfway through cooking.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve the maple-glazed chicken with your choice of side dishes and enjoy!
