Glorious Chicken ~ With FOUR Main Ingredients

I don't know about you, but I love changing things up when it comes to the menu.  I am the queen at trying new things.  And most of the time, I'm not disappointed.  For the first year or two of our marriage, I cooked something new almost every night.  I can think of 2 things I've made since that time that we didn't couldn't eat.  That bad.  One was a turkey meatloaf (just threw up a little in my throat) that never set up.  And the other was a Thai Peanut Chicken dish (oohh, shiver).  I steer clear of Thai now - people or food.

Totally kidding.

This chicken got R.A.V.I.N.G reviews online, and hellllo - it only required four main ingredients.  FOUR.  4.  Quatro.  Ya better believe it's one I would try.  Super easy, few ingredients and tastaaayyy.  Not many recipes fall under those categories.  Oh man, am I glad I tried it!!

Here's the small ensemble.  Small ensembles are overrated, everywhere.  From recipes to just singing in a group.  I love 'em.

Lay chicken in a 9x13 dish.  Ground some fresh peppercorn pepper and sea salt over the chicken to your liking.  

Mix 1/2 cup of Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar together.  The pure syrup is like $8 bucks a bottle.  I'm not sure how the cheaper stuff would work out.

To do list: stop biting nails and get a manicure.  Nasties.

Pour mixture over prepared chicken.

Isn't this incredibly hard work?

If you'd like a torching of your eyebrows, open oven and take a picture of your chicken baking.  Wow, 450 degrees is hot stuff.

Bake for 40-45 minutes.  Once done, sprinkle rosemary on top.  Or don't.  It's good either way.  It's so tender, you can cut it with a spoon.  Which yes, I did.  My fork was overtaken by my toddler.

Put on a plate with green beans from your garden and buttery, red potatoes and chow down.

Star Rating: ★★★★★★★★★ (sighhh, got carried away.)
