Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini), chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the maple Dijon mixture over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, toss the chopped vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Place the chicken on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the chicken and vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, stirring the vegetables halfway through.
- During the last 10 minutes of cooking, brush the remaining maple Dijon mixture over the chicken and return it to the oven to caramelize the glaze.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the maple Dijon chicken with the roasted vegetables and enjoy!
