Paleo Maple Dijon Chicken


This recipe is not only healthy, it's super convenient with only five ingredients! Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner! 

Serves: 3-4

Ingredients

  • Chicken thighs – 1 package (1.5 Lbs or 700g)
  • Dijon mustard – 1/2 cup
  • Maple syrup – 1/4 cup
  • Rice/rice wine vinegar- 1 tablespoon (or lemon juice if strictly Paleo)
  • Fresh rosemary
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450º F (220 C).
  2. Then, mix together 1/2 cup of dijon mustard, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of rice/rice wine vinegar.
  3. Put 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs into a foil-lined or disposable oven-proof, 8×8 inch baking dish. Then, salt and pepper.
  4. Pour your maple mustard mixture over them, turning the thighs in the mixture so they are fully coated.
  5. Put the chicken thighs into the oven, and let them bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165ºF. Baste the tops of the chicken with the sauce half way through.
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Plate the chicken, whisk the sauce that remains in the baking dish, and then spoon the extra sauce over the top.
  8. Sprinkle over some fresh rosemary.
