Introduction

Baked chicken breasts with maple, mustard, lemon, and dill Baked chicken breasts with maple, mustard, lemon, and dill
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    Marinade:
    1/4 cup pure maple syrup
    3 tbsp grainy Dijon mustard
    2 tbsp minced fresh dill
    2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
    2 tsp grated lemon zest
    1 tsp minced garlic
    1/4 cup each salt and freshly ground pepper

    4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs / 680 g)

Directions

* Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Arrange chicken breasts in a glass or ceramic baking dish that's just large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a layer. Pour marinade over chicken. Turn pieces to coat both sides with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.

* Preheat oven to 350*F. Remove plastic wrap and transfer casserole dish to middle oven rack. Bake, uncovered, for about 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink in the centre.

* Spoon sauce from bottom of pan over chicken and serve immediately.

Tip: Do not use a large casserole dish, such as a lasagne pan, for this recipe. It's too big and will cause the marinade to spread too thinly and likely burn while the chicken is baking. The marinade also makes a great salad dressing when you add an extra tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Makes 4 servings.

    Incredible!
    Easy, healthy and very flavourful. Served it with a side of roasted root vegetables and some plain sweet potato mash (no extra ingredients required in the mash! Just prick with fork, bake for an hour at 400degrees F and scoop out!) - 1/16/12

    Incredible!
    Made this tonight and served it over a bed of spaghetti squash and sauteed mushrooms... VERY tasty! Hubby loved it also. I WILL make this again in the near future, as it was very simple to make and had great flavour. - 7/16/09
