Dijon Chicken

One of my favorite go-tos. So easy, so delicious!



What you need:
1.5lb hormone free vegetarian fed chicken thighs
1/2 cup dijon mustard (check label find one w/o sugar, or make your own)
1/4 cup maple syrup or natures hollow sugar free maple syrup
1 TBS apple cider vinegar

What to do:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees (not a typo). Mix together dijon mustard, maple syrup and rice wine vinegar.
Place chicken in an oven proof baking dish lined with aluminum foil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the mustard mixture over them, turning the thighs in the mixture so they are fully coated.Bake for 40 minutes or until the meat is cooked (155 degrees). Avoid cutting into chicken to see if it's done. Halfway through baste the chicken with the sauce. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
